Career

  • Consul 461 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • For the cognomen Camerinus, see Chr. Pasc. and note the corrupt form Macerinus in Dion. Hal.; for the filiation, see Fast. Cap. on 451. In Chr. 354 is preserved the cognomen Cornutus for which there is no room in Fast. Cap. for 461 or 451 (Degrassi 92). See 500, 490 and 402. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 3.10.5, and 18.8; Diod. 11.84.1; Fast. Cap. (V.'s name entire); Dion. Hal. 10.1.1; Val. Max. 1.6.5; Plin. NH 2.147; Chr. 354 (Amentino et Cornuto); Fast. Hyd. (Gallo et Camerio); Chr. Pasc. ({Gr}); Cassiod.; Degrassi 24f., 92, 360f. On Volumnius, see Lübker no. 2. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador)? 454 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • In Dion. Hal. the praenomen is Ser. (corrupted to Servilius), but Livy here, in 451, in 449, and in 446 introduces a Sulpicius with the praenomen P. The correct form remains uncertain; one would expect the Legate here and the Decemvir in 451 to be the Consul of 461 (Ser.), along with the other consulars (Dion. Hal. 10.56) in the first college of Decemviri. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Sent to Athens and other Greek cities to study their laws (Liv. 3.31.7-8; Dion. Hal. 10.52.3, cf. 51.1-6; Lyd.) Magg. 1.34; Zon. 7.18; cf. Jerome Chr. on 452 B.C., p. 112 Helm). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Ambassador)? 453 Achaea (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Ambassador)? 452 Achaea (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Their return this year led to the creation of the Decemvirate in 451 (Liv. 3.32.6-7, and 33.5; Dion. Hal. 10.54.2-56.1; Zon. 7.18). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Decemvir Consulari Imperio Legibus Scribundis? 451 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Diod. preserves all or part of eight names, omitting Sestius and Curiatius, Fast. Cap. all or part of six with space for the rest, those of Sestius, Curiatius, Romilius and Postumius, which are supplied from the information on their consulships (Degrassi 26f., 94, 364f.). According to Dion. Hal. (10.56.2) they were all consulars, but this principle was not applied consistently in Livy or Fast. Cap. See notes 3 and 4. (Broughton MRR I)
    • See 454, note 2; and 461. Livy is probably the source of the praenomen P. in Ascon. 77 C and Lyd., Magg. 1.34. The consular however was Ser. Sulpicius. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Prepared and caused the enactment of ten tables of laws (Cic. Rep. 2.61; Liv. 3.33.1-36.2; Diod. 12.23.1; Dion. Hal. 10.56.1-2; Tac. Ann. 3.27; Gell. 11.18.6; 17.21.15; 20.1; Dig. 1.2.2.3-4 and 24; Zon. 7.18). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Envoy)? 449 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • See 454, Legates and note 2. In Livy and Asconius Sulpicius' praenomen is P., but as all are stated to be consulars only Ser. Sulpicius, the Consul of 461, can be intended. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Sent to negotiate with the plebeians who had seceded to the Aventine (Liv. 3.50.15-16; Ascon. 77 C). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 446 Volscian territory (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • On Sulpicius' name, see 454, note 2, and 451, note 4. As the fictitious Legates of this period are almost all consulars, the praenomen P. merely indicates the degree of consistency of Livy's sources. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under the Consuls against the Volscians (Liv. 3.70.2-5). On Postumius, see Lübker no. 17. (Broughton MRR I)
