Career

  • 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)
  • Triumphator 293 (Rich 2014) Expand
    • Triumph de Samnitibus. MRR I.180, Itgenshorst no. 95, Rich no. 95. (Rich 2014)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 292 Etruria (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Served under Brutus in Etruria (Zon. 8.1) (Broughton MRR I)
  • Censor? 289 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Both the date of this censorship and the names of the Censors remain not completely certain. In Livy (Per. 11) the completion of the lustrum is mentioned between the colonization of Castrum, Sena and Hadria and the secession of the Plebs, therefore between 290 and 287. The plebeians Caedicius and{185} Domitius are listed as Censors in 283 and 280, respectively, with Domitius the first plebeian Censor to complete the lustrum. Carvilius, the one known plebeian Censor of this period who remains unplaced, must have held office during this lustrum. The name of his patrician colleague is harder to ascertain. That Fabius was Censor is simply a probable inference from the fact that, like his father and grandfather, he became Princeps Senatus (Plin.) and was therefore, when chosen, the oldest living ex-Censor (Liv. 27.11.11). There is at least a hint that Scipio held the office in 280, and it is unlikely that Fabius was the unknown colleague of Caedicius who abdicated in 283, since the death of a colleague was the usual cause of abdication and Fabius lived to be Consul in 276. His censorship, if he held one, is best dated here. See De Boor 10. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Vell. 2.128.2; Plin. NH 7.133; cf. Degrassi 114, on 269. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Consul 272 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Fast. Cap. (names entire except [L.] Papirius); Act. Tr.; Frontin. Aq. 1.6; Chr. 354; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; see Degrassi, 40f., 114, 430f. 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. Jerome Chr. ad ann. 275, p. 130 Helm; cf. also on the Carthaginian fleet at Tarentum, Liv. Per. 14; Liv. 21.10.8, 24.9.8; Dio fr. 43.1; Ampel. 46.2; Oros. 4.3.1-2; Zon. 8.6).
