Career

  • Tribunus Militum 212 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Münzer (Gent. Val. 59) would list this Tribune of the Soldiers among those invented by Valerius Antias for the greater renown of his family. The style of the passage resembles the late annalistic, but the names need not be fictitious. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under the Consuls in the capture of Hanno's camp at Beneventum (Liv. 25.14.6; Val. Max. 3.2.20). See Münzer, Gent. Val. 39, no. 17. (Broughton MRR I)

    • It is chronologically possible to identify Valerius with the Consul of 195, who was Curule Aedile in 201 and Pr. in 199; and there is no record of another L. Valerius Flaccus who meets the conditions. (Broughton MRR I)
