Manlius Capitolinus Defending the Capitoline Hill against the Franks; Des cas des nobles hommes et femmes, about 1413-1415. Additional Info: Wielding his sword, the consul Marcus Manlius fiercely defends Rome against an attack by the Franks in 390 B.C. With the remains of his army, Manlius fortified the Capitoline Hill against the advancing enemy, who ardently tried to capture the hill using ladders. Manlius and his men held out, though, and the Capitoline Hill remained the only unoccupied portion of Rome. For his bravery in this heroic feat, Manlius received the surname Capitolinus.
