He was, however, encouraged by his colleagues before the end of the year in office to resign, as Livy reports to allow new elections because of the impending Latinerkrieges. After the Latinerkriegen Aemilius came forth again politically. In 335 BC he was appointed to hold a public meeting dictator ( dictator comitiorum habendorum causa ). In his second consulship (329 BC, Gaius Plautius colleague Decianus ) him the war was plotted against the Gauls in northern Italy. Since the Gauls behaved quietly, Aemilius conquered the city Privernum and held a triumph. For his victory, he was given the nickname Privernas. In 326 BC he was Interrex, 316 BC again dictator ( dictator rei gerundae causa ). His job during this dictatorship was the fight against the Samnites.

His full name is according to the inscriptions L. Aimilius L. L. f n Mamercinus Privernas. For his cognomen Mamercinus different variants have been handed down from a later period.
