Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus (Consul 500 BC)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus († 463 BC ) was a figure of the early Roman Republic from the gens Sulpicia and is considered consul of the year 500 BC. His counterpart was supposedly Manius Tullius Longus .

His life and the conspiracy of Tarquinius Superbus that he uncovered as well as the abolition of the old royal constitution of Rome are viewed by scholars as a reflection of the Catilinarian conspiracy and interpolation from this time. His Cognomina are only attested by the Fasti Capitolini , Dionysius at least gives the first.

The consul of the same name from the year 461 BC BC could have been his son, see Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus (consul 461 BC) .
