Titus Menenius Lanatus (fl. c. 452 BC) was a Roman senator during the 5th century BC. He served as consul in 452 BC.

Consulship

In 452 BC, he was consul with Publius Sestius Capitolinus Vaticanus.[1][2] During their consulship, the delegates left to study Greek law in Athens. After returning to Rome, the tribunes of the plebs called together officials to create a commission to write the law down. Publius Sestius supported this proposition, contrary to Titus Menenius, who pondered the question before falling ill; then he was rendered inactive until the end of his term as consul.[2] Publius Sestius refused to take the initiative on his own in creating the commission. So he deferred the decision to the following year.[3]

Titus Menenius was the father of Agrippa Menenius Lanatus, consul in 439 BC.
