Marcius Coriolanus (also Gaius Marcius Coriolanus or shortly Coriolanus * before 527 BC, † 488 BC in Antium) was, according to legend, a Roman hero and general, whose pride, ignorance and stubbornness led to clashes with the plebeians. He was banished from Rome and then led a war against his own hometown, which he broke off only at the request of his mother.
