Live and act

According to the consular fasts, he was the son and grandson of a Gnaeus , which is why the consul of 298 BC. BC, Gnaeus Fulvius Maximus Centumalus , his brother may have been. The suffect consul of the year 305 BC BC, Marcus Fulvius Curvus Paetinus , was certainly a close relative, but cannot be another brother because of his different filiation.

Paetinus himself reached 299 BC. The consulate together with Titus Manlius Torquatus and continued the siege of Nequinum in Umbria , which the consul Quintus Appuleius Pansa had begun in the previous year . The conquest was achieved by two traitors who showed the consul an underground passage into the city. A colony was then established in Nequinum , which was named Narnia . For his successes Paetinus celebrated a triumph over the Sabines and the inhabitants of Nequinum.

Nothing is known about his further life; he should not have had any descendants, because the consul of 255 BC BC, Servius Fulvius Paetinus Nobilior , cannot be a direct descendant because of filiation; he probably belonged more to the line around Curvus Paetinus.
