Consulship

In 453 BC, he was consul with Publius Curiatius Fistus Trigeminus. Rome was ravaged this year by a famine and an epidemic, which killed animals as well as people. It is thought to have been typhus, an epidemic that raged on for ten or more years. His colleague, Trigeminus, and the consul suffect that replaced him both caught the disease that same year.
