Life
According to the Triumphal Acts, the father of Publius Sulpicius Saverrio led the Praenomen Servius and his grandfather the Praenomen Publius .
304 BC BC Saverrio held the consulate together with Publius Sempronius Sophus . Presumably both consuls were given the task of fighting the Samnites , but peace was soon made with this people and the long Second Samnite War ended. While Sophus then probably feuded the Aequer alone , Saverrio is likely to have waged war with part of the army against mountain tribes bordering Samnium. In any case, the acts of triumph ascribed to Saverrio a triumph over the Samnites, which he held less than a month after Sophus' triumph over the Aequer. A more detailed account of the consulate can be found in the article on Sophus .
