Quintus Quinctius Cincinnatus (consular tribune 415 BC)

Quintus Quinctius Cincinnatus was a consular tribune in 415 and 405 BC of the Roman Republic.[1]

Quinctius belonged to the Quinctia gens, one of the oldest and possibly the most influential and powerful patrician gens of the early Republic. Quinctius branch, the Cincinnati, traced their descent from the legendary dictator Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. His father was the son of the dictator and also named Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. No filiations survive in our sources in regards to Quinctius relation to later Quinctia but there is a possibility that his namesake Quintus Quinctius Cincinnatus, consular tribune in 369 BC, is a son or grandson.[2]
