Life
Carbo belonged to the important ancient Roman family of the Papirians , namely the branch of the Papirii Carbones , as the first representative of which he achieved one of the higher national dignities. For the year 168 BC He was elected praetor and was given the administration of the province of Sardinia by lot . After the other praetors had left for the provinces assigned to them, the Senate instructed Carbo to take over the office of Praetor peregrinus and thus to speak law between Roman citizens and foreigners. Lucius Anicius Gallus , who had actually been entrusted with the foreign praetur, had meanwhile received orders to go to Illyria ; there he was supposed to wage war against King Genthios , who had allied himself with the Macedonian ruler Perseus , who was fighting against Rome . As a result, Carbo stayed in Rome and worked there instead of Gallus as Praetor peregrinus . In Sardinia, Publius Fonteius Capito , who last year 169 BC , was practicing . Was appointed praetor of this island, the administration continues.
Nothing is known about Carbo's further life.
