Who is Gaius Iunius Bubulcus Brutus?

Gaius Iunius Bubulcus Brutus was a three-time consul of the Roman Republic, thrice appointed dictator or magister equitum, and censor in 307 BC. In 311, he made a vow to the goddess Salus that he went on to fulfill, becoming the first plebeian to build a temple. The temple was one of the first dedicated to an abstract deity, and Iunius was one of the first generals to vow a temple and then oversee its establishment through the construction and dedication process.

The desultory manner in which Iunius Bubulcus survives in the historical record obscures the stature indicated by the number of high offices he held from 317 to 302 BC; it has been observed that he "cannot have been as colourless as he appears in Livy."
