Career

  • Consul 227 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Fast. Cap. (names entire); Ser. Sulpicius, in Gell. 4.3.2, cf. 17.21.44; Chr. 354; Fast. Hyd.; Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; Degrassi 44f., 118, 440f. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 38, no. 16. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Envoy) 219 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • From Livy it would appear that these Envoys were dispatched under the Consuls of 218 (Liv. 21.6.3), but as Saguntum fell before the winter of 219-218, and the arrival of the Envoys may well have preceded Hannibal's attack (Polyb. 3.15.4), the date is at the latest early in 219. (Broughton MRR I)
    • According to Cicero (Phil. 5.27) and Livy (21.6.8), these were sent to Saguntum to order Hannibal to desist from the siege. On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 38, no. 16. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 216 Campania (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The battle described in Livy was probably unimportant and the details, such as the number of the men lost, quite unreliable. Münzer (Gent. Val. 59, note 9) considers this Valerius a fictitious character taken from Valerius Antias. Lübker, no. 24, keeps the identification given above. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under Marcellus at Nola (Liv. 23.16.13). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Legatus (Lieutenant) 214 Apulia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Placed in charge of the garrison at Brundisium by Laevinus (Liv. 24.40.5; see 215, Prefects; and Münzer, Gent. Val. 38, no. 16). (Broughton MRR I)
