Career

  • Aedilis Curulis 299 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Münzer doubts the two plebeians despite Livy's preference and the authority of Piso, since patricians should hold the office in regular course in an odd year; and Domitius was defeated in 305 (Plin. NH 33.17, probably also from Piso). See Seidel, 14f. Could magistrates of successive years have been telescoped? (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 10.9.10-12, from Licinius Macer, fr. 19 Peter, and Aelius Tubero, fr. 7 Peter. On Papirius, see Lübker, no. 10. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 293 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Carvilius' name is preserved entire in Act. Tr., while in the case of Papirius Fast. Cap. and Act. Tr. supplement each other. As Amiternum was a Sabine town, Beloch (RG 430) claims that Carvilius' triumph over the Samnites was really over the Sabines. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Liv. 10.39.1; Fast. Cap. ([L.] Papirius L. f. Sp. n. Cursor; Sp. [Carvilius C. f. C. n. Maxi]mus); Act. Tr.; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 38f., 112, 426f. Papirius captured Duronia, won a victory at Aquilonia, captured Saepinum, celebrated a triumph over the Samnites, dedicated the temple of Quirinus vowed by his father, and led his army to winter quarters in the Ager Vestinus, while his colleague captured Amiternum, Cominium, Velia, Palumbinum, and Herculaneum from the Samnites, and in Etruria captured Troilus and compelled Falerii to sue for peace, then celebrated a triumph, also over Samnites, used part of the booty for a temple of Fors Fortuna, and set up a statue of Jove on the Capitol from the captured armor (Liv. 10.39-46; Act. Tr., Degrassi 72f., 544; Val. Max. 7.5.5; Plin. NH 7.213, on P.; 34.43, on C.; Frontin. Str. 2.4.1; Dio fr. 36.29, and Zon. 8.1; Oros. 3.22.3). On Papirius, see Lübker no. 10. (Broughton MRR I)

Both Consuls campaigned against Samnites, Lucanians and Bruttians, but, though Pyrrhus' general Milo yielded the citadel of Tarentum to Papirius, both celebrated their triumphs over Tarentines as well as the other foes (Act. Tr., Degrassi, 74f., 546; Liv. Per. 14 and 15; Frontin. Str. 3.3.1; Oros. 4.3.1-2; Fest. 228 L, with praenomen T. for L.; Zon. 8.6; cf.
