Publius Minucius Augurinus

Publius Minucius Augurinus (* around 525 BC in Rome , † after 492 BC) was, according to tradition, a Roman politician in the 5th century BC. Chr.

Publius was the brother of Marcus Minucius Augurinus , the consul of the year 497 BC. In the year 492 BC He allegedly held this office together with Titus Geganius Macerinus himself. During that year there is said to have been a great famine in Rome, but nothing is known about his term of office. He is said to have had two sons who allegedly also reached the consulate: Lucius Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus ( suffect consul 458 BC) and Quintus Minucius Esquilinus (consul 457 BC).

The consulates of the Minucians are - according to the unanimous opinion within the scientific community - all to be removed from the consull lists, as they were later, probably around 300 BC. Were interpolated. In the early phase of the republic only patricians could get to the consular office, but the gens Minucia was clearly plebeian.
