Marcus Furius Camillus
Roman general hailed as the Second Founder of Rome. He conquered the Etruscan city of Veii (396 BCE) after a ten-year siege, was exiled in a political dispute, and was recalled to drive out the Gauls who had sacked Rome (386 BCE). He then blocked the Senate's plan to abandon Rome for Veii, delivering a speech on the city's sacred inalienability. He served as dictator five times.
