Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUS , the name of a Roman family of the plebeian Decian gens. (1) PUBLIUS DECIUS MOs won his first laurels in the Samnite War, when in 343 B.C., while serving as tribune of the soldiers, he rescued the Roman
main
  army from an apparently hopeless position (Livy vii. 34). In 340, as
consul
  with T. Manlius Torquatus as colleague, he commanded in the Latin War. The decisive
battle
  was fought near Mt
Vesuvius
 . The consuls, in consequence of a
dream
 , had agreed that the general-whose troops first gave way should devote himself to destruction, and so ensure victory. The left wing under Decius became disordered, whereupon, repeating after the
chief
  pontiff the solemn
formula
  of self-devotion he dashed into the ranks of the Latins, and met his death (Livy viii. 9). (2) His son, also called PUBLIUS,
consul
  for the fourth time in 295, followed the example of his father at the
battle
  of Sentinum, when the left wing which he commanded was shaken by the Gauls (Livy x. 28). The story of the
elder
  Decius is regarded by Mommsen as an unhistorical " doublette " of what is related on better authority of the son.
