Encyclopedic overview
Marcus Furius Camillus (/kəˈmɪləs/; possibly c. 448 – c. 365 BC) was a Roman statesman and politician during the early Roman republic who is most famous for his capture of Veii and defence of Rome from Gallic sack after the Battle of the Allia. Modern scholars are dubious of Camillus' supposed exploits and believe many of them are wrongly attributed or otherwise wholly fictitious.
