Servius Sulpicius Camerinus (suffect consul 393 BC)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Servius Sulpicius Camerinus came from the Roman patrician family of the Sulpicians and was 393 BC. Chr. Suffect consul and 391 BC Chr. Consular Tribune . Perhaps he also held the latter office in 388, 384 and 383 BC. Chr. Inside.

Life

From the surviving fragments of the Fasti Capitolini from 393 BC It can be seen that the father of Servius Sulpicius Camerinus led the praenomen Quintus and his grandfather the praenomen Servius .

After having held consular tribunes every year for 15 years (from 408 BC), 393 BC were held. Again elected consuls : Lucius Valerius Potitus and Publius Cornelius Maluginensis , who however resigned. Now Servius Sulpicius Camerinus and Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus Flavus became suffect consuls.

Together with his consular colleague Lucretius, Sulpicius belonged two years later to the six-member consular tribune body from 391 BC. Chr. 387 BC Sulpicius held the office of Interrex .

Modern research, such as the ancient historian Friedrich Münzer , considers it possible that the Servius Sulpicius Camerinus treated here is identical to Servius Sulpicius Rufus , the consular tribune of 388, 384 and 383 BC. One of the reasons for this assumption is that Sulpicius could have owned two Cognomina, Camerinus and Rufus , as was the case with the consul of 345 BC. Chr. The case was proven. The theory would also not contradict the sources, as these often only give a cognomen (or none at all). If so, Sulpicius' full name was Servius Sulpicius Q. f. Ser. n. Camerinus Rufus and he would be 393 BC BC suffect consul as well as 391, 388, 384 and 383 BC He was consular tribune, where he would have had Lucius Lucretius Tricipitinus Flavus as a colleague in four of his five terms in office.
