Pro'culus, C. Plau'tius
consul B. C. 358, with C. Fabius Ambustus, carried on war with the Hernici, whom he conquered, and obtained in consequence the honour of a triumph. Two years afterwards, B. C. 356, he was named magister equitum by the dictator C. Marcius Rutilus. Rutilus was the first plebeian dictator, and Proculus the first plebeian magister equitum. (
