Career

  • Consul 330 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The preservation of Papirius' name in Fast. Cap. enables us to distinguish the Consul of 336 and 330 (L. f. L. n.) from the Censor of 318 (L. f. M. n.). The Master of Horse in 320 was L. Papirius Cursor (Fast. Cap., Degrassi 34f., 108, 412f.), the Dictator of 325 and 324. These three Papirii have been confused in the Index of CIL 1(2), p.351; cf. Degrassi 539. In Livy Plautius' cognomen is clearly given as Venox. For Plautius Diod. has {Gr}. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 8.19.1; Diod. 17.82.1; Fast. Cap. (Papirius' name entire except Papi[r]ius); Chr. 354 (Crasso III et Venio); Fast. Hyd. (Crasso et Venoce); Chr. Pasc. ({Gr}); Cassiod.; Degrassi 34f., 108, 412f. They carried on the war with Privernum (Liv. 8.19-20). On Papirius, see Lübker no. 6, on Plautius, Münzer, APF 39f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Praetor? 322 Rome (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • As the praetorship in this period was normally held by an ex-Consul, Plautius is more probably the Consul of 330 than of 318. See Münzer, APF 39f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 8.40.2. (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 755, footnote 481 (Brennan 2000)
