Marcus Papius Mutilus
Marcus Papius Mutilus was a Roman politician and senator in the first half of the 1st century AD.
Marcus Papius Mutilus was a descendant of the Samnite military leader Gaius Papius Mutilus . He was a suffect consul in AD 9 . Together with his colleague Quintus Poppaeus Secundus , he had the lex Papia Poppaea , named after the two, adopted, the continuation of the marriage legislation begun with the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus . It was intended to achieve a de facto marriage obligation for all Roman citizens of marriageable age by placing unmarried and childless people in a worse position in terms of inheritance law, while large numbers of children received advantages when applying for office (ius trium liberorum) . The actual author of the law was Augustus ; Papius and his colleague were bachelors themselves. Papius Mutilus is mentioned for the last time in the year 16 when he and other distinguished senators proposed that the death of Marcus Scribonius Libo Drusus , who had committed suicide as an alleged conspirator, should be celebrated as a feast day.
