Lucius Furius Philus

Lucius Furius Philus was a consul of ancient Rome in 136 BC.

He was a member of the Scipionic circle , and particularly close to Scipio Aemilianus. As consul he was involved with the foedus Mancinum , and offered Mancinus to the Numantines.

He is mentioned by Macrobius as the author of a work mentioning two sacral formulae to use against besieged cities, while Cicero, in de Republica, praises the style of Furius' speeches.
