Atrati'nus
1. A. Sempronius Atratinus, consul B. C. 497. (Liv. 2.21; Dionys. A. R. 6.1.)
He had the charge of the city when the battle of the lake Regillus was fought (Dionys. A. R. 6.2), which is variously placed in 498 and 496. [See p. 90b.] He was consul again in 491, when he exerted himself with his colleague in obtaining a supply of corn for the people. (Liv. 2.34; Dionys. A. R. 7.20.)
In the war with the Hernicans and Volscians in 487, Atratinus was again entrusted with the care of the city. (Dionys. A. R. 8.64.)
He was interrex in 482. (Dionys. A. R. 8.90.)
Auguri'nus
1. M. Minucius Augurinus, consul B. C. 497, in which year the temple of Saturn was dedicated and the Saturnalia instituted. (Liv. 2.21; Dionys. A. R. 6.1.)
He was consul again in 492, when there was a great famine at Rome.
He took an active part in the defence of Coriolanus, who was brought to trial in this year, but was unable to obtain his acquittal. (Liv. 2.34; Dionys. A. R. 7.20, 27-32, 38, 60, 61.)
In the victorious approach of Coriolanus to Rome at the head of the Volscian army, Augurinus was one of the embassy sent to intercede with him on behalf of the city. (Dionys. A. R. 8.22, 23.)

Sempro'nia Gens
patrician and plebeian.
This gens was of great antiquity, and one of its members, A. Sempronius Atratinus, obtained the consulship as early as B. C. 497, twelve years after the foundation of the republic. The Sempronii were divided into many families, of which the ATRATINI were undoubtedly patrician, but all the others appear to have been plebeian : their names are ASELLIO, BLAESUS, DENSUS, GRACCHUS, LONGUS, MUSCA, PITIO, RUFUS, RUTILUS, SOPHUS, TUDITANUS. Of these, Atratinus, Gracchus, and Pitio alone occur on coins.
The glory of the Sempronia gens is confined to the republican period. Very few persons of this name, and none of them of any importance, are mentioned under the empire.
