Life

In research, Servius Sulpicius Rufus are usually attributed to three consular tribunates (388, 384 and 383 BC). The Roman annalist Titus Livius gives three names of Sulpicius in the first two terms of office, in the third only the prenomen and the gentile name ; he also adds the iteration numbers for the second and third terms. The Greek-Sicilian historian Diodorus only mentions the prenomen and the gentile name of Sulpicius in all three terms of office, but no cognomen .

Some ancient historians such as Friedrich Münzer consider it possible that the Sulpicius treated here is identical to Servius Sulpicius Camerinus , who lived in 393 BC. Suffect consul and 391 BC Was a consular tribune. If this assumption is correct, Sulpicius would have led the two Cognomina Camerinus and Rufus - as was the case with the consul of 345 BC. Chr. Proven was the case - and its full name would Servius Sulpicius Q. f. Ser. n. Camerinus Rufus called .

It is quite uncertain that Sulpicius was also involved with the consular tribunes from 377 BC. Was identical, especially because the Fasti Capitolini apparently equated the latter with Servius Sulpicius Praetextatus (consular tribune 376, 370 and 368 BC).
