Career

• Censor Suffectus 393 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
  • In place of C. Iulius who died in office (Fast. Cap. (M. Cornelius P. f. M. [- - -]); Liv. 5.31.6; 9.34.20; Dion. Hal. 1.74.5; Plut. Cam. 14.1; Degrassi 30f., 100, 386f.). The capture of Rome during this lustrum led to the rule that if one Censor died in office the other must abdicate (Liv. 5.31.6; Mommsen Str. 1.216; 2.341). They named Lucretius (above) Princeps Senatus (Plut. Cam. 32; cf. Liv. 5.55). (Broughton MRR I)
