Career

  • Censor 380 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This censorship is questioned by Münzer, RE s. v. "Sulpicius" no. 29, and Beloch )RG 83) because of the large number of Military Tribunes in 380 and the reappearance of the names Sulpicius and Postumius as Censors in 366. The prompt election of new Censors in 378 indicates that the tradition given above is probably correct, and there is no proof that the Censors of 366 were the same men. See Cram, HSCPh 51 (1940) 78-80. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Postumius died, Sulpicius abdicated, and their successors were vitio creati, so no further election was attempted (Liv. 6.27.4-5; Degrassi 102, 392f.). On the name of Poplicola, see 394 and 389; on that of Potitus, see Fast. Cap. for 367, and cf. 386, note 1. The proper form of Menenius' cognomen appears in Fast. Cap. On the name of Aemilius, see Fast. Cap. for 391. On Sergius' praenomen, see Fast. Cap., and cf. Liv. 6.5.7. Ti., otherwise unexampled in the Papirian family, like the Titus indicated in Diod., is clear on the stone. On L. Papirius Mugillanus, see 382, note 1. (Broughton MRR I)
