380 BC

Year 380 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Tribunate of Poplicola, Poplicola, Maluginensis, Lanatus, Peticus, Mamercinus, Fidenas, Crassus and Mugillanus (or, less frequently, year 374 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 380 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Italy

• The Roman Republic holds elections for military tribunes with consular power . Military tribunes are as follows. Lucius Valerius (for the fifth time), Publius Valerius (third time), Gaius Sergius (third time), Licinius Menenius (second time), Publius Papirius and Servius Cornelius Maluginensis. War springs up with the Praenestines and they soon move to the territory of the Gabii (east of Rome ), as soon as they hear of civil disputes in Rome. In Rome the enrolment of troops cannot start, as the tribunes and the commons oppose it. The young men refuse to enroll their names and the tribunes will not allow those bound over to be taken away for military service. The Praenstines meanwhile see that Rome has no army in the field, so they proceed to destroy all the fields up to Rome and appear near the walls of Rome. Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus is made dictator, and he chooses Aulus Sempronius Atratinus as master of the horse. Quinctius defeats the enemy at Allia. Afterwards he captures eight towns subject to Praenste, stormes Velitrae, and accepts the surrender of Praenste. Quinctius holds a triumph in which he brings with him a statue of Jupiter from Praenste.
