    • Abdicated because of a flaw in their election (Fast. Cap., Degrassi 44f., 117, 440f.; cf. on Fulvius, Liv. 23.30.18; 25.5.3; 28.45.2; on Manlius, 23.34.15; 25.5.3; 27.11.10). (Broughton MRR I)

    • Polyb. 2.31.8; Fast. Cap. (names entire); Chr. 354; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Oros. 4.13.11; Cassiod.; cf. on Manlius, Liv. 23.34.15; Degrassi 44f., 118, 440f. These Consuls forced the Boii to submit, and were the first Roman commanders to cross the Po and battle the Insubres (Polyb. 2.31.8-10; Oros. 4.3.11; cf. Liv. Per. 20; Zon. 8.20). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Propraetor 215 Sardinia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Granted the imperium, he was sent to assume command in Sardinia temporarily for Mucius Scaevola, and quelled the revolt instigated by the Carthaginians (Liv. 23.34.10-15, 40.1-41.7; Eutrop. 3.12.4, and 13.2; Zon. 9.4). (Broughton MRR I)
    • The commander for Sardinia was to be appointed cum imperio by the Praetor Urbanus, and he is termed Praetor in Livy (23.34.14, and 40.1). Eutropius (3.12.4, 13.2) designates him Proconsul. Maxis considers him a Praetor Suffectus (22) and Stella Maranca (296) a Praetor, but Livy is clear as to the manner of appointment and its temporary nature. Mommsen (Str.{258} 2.240, note 5) notes that praetor at times is used of any one serving as provincial governor, and in part through carelessness, as the equivalent of pro praetore. Eutropius apparently used a wrong title. (Broughton MRR I)

    • (pont. max.). pp. 65-72 (Pina Polo 2012)

    • Manlius was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of Pont. Max. in 212 (Liv. 25.5.2.-4). In view of his seniority he probably became a Pontifex considerably earlier. (Broughton MRR I)
