Scantinius
1. C. Scantinius Capitolinus, aedile about B. C. 226, was accused by M. Claudius Marcellus, his colleague in the aedileship, of having made infamous proposals to his son Marcus, and was condemned to the payment of a heavy fine. This is the account of Plutarch, which seems preferable to that of Valerius Maximus, who makes Scantinius tribune of the people at the time of his condemnation. (Plut. Marc. 2; V. Max. 6.1.7.)
