Coudry's examination of Camillus is comprehensive and stimulating, showing well the different valences of Camillus at different periods in the tradition, including some speculative but highly suggestive remarks on the "prehistory" of the figure of Camillus (50-56).
Other contributors are more concise, such as Berrendonner, who, in her excellent article on Curius and Fabricius, never loses sight of the big picture.

 Dante's Purgatorio - Terrace 5: Avarice And Prodigality
Gaius Fabricius Luscinus was a prominent Roman leader--he served the Republic twice as consul (282 and 278 B.C.E.) and once as censor (275)--legendary for his integrity and contempt for material wealth.
So strong was Fabricius' loyalty to the state that he could not be bought off with lavish gifts, preferring instead "to remain in poverty as an ordinary citizen" (Augustine, City of God 5.18).
Dante elsewhere presents Fabricius as a model of Roman civic virtue based on this impressive austerity ( Convivio 4.5.13; Monarchia 2.5.11), which Virgil succinctly praises in the Aeneid : "Fabricius, strong with so little" (6.843-4).
