The gens Manlia was one of the oldest and most distinguished families of the Roman Republic. The first Manlio that occupied the consulate was Cneo Manlio Cincinato in 480 a. C., only four years after the first Fabio held the same position. The family included important consuls like Marco Manlio Capitolino, that occupied the consulate at the beginning of Century IV a. C. or Tito Manlio Torcuato, who occupied the consulate three times (347 BC, 344 BC and 340 BC). Tito descended from the latter, famous for his military successes but also for the execution of his son for violating his rules of discipline.
