Death
Lucius Manlius Vulso Longus died in 216 BC. Nothing is known about how he died. Since he died in 216 BC, this means that he lived for around 83 years, since one had to be around 40 years old to run for consul and the first time he ran was in 259 BC. It is probable that he died from natural causes since he was around 83 years old, which was very old for someone living in Ancient Rome. This predicts that his birth would be somewhere around 300 BC.

Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—

With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
