Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis (consul 466 BC)


Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis was a patrician politician of Ancient Rome. He was, apparently, according to the Fasti, the son of Aulus Postumius Albus Regillensis, although it must be observed that no great dependence can be placed upon genealogies from such early times. He was consul in 466 BC. He was one of the three commissioners sent into Greece to collect information about the laws of that country, and was a member of the first decemvirate in 451 BC. He commanded, as legatus, the center of the Roman army in the Battle of Corbione, in which the Aequians and Volscians were defeated in 446 BC.

He was apparently the father of the Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis who was consular tribune in 432 BC.
