Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus

Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, the short form of whose name is Camerinus, was consul at Rome in the year 500 BC with Manius Tullius Longus.

Livy reports that no important events occurred during this year, but Dionysius of Halicarnassus states that Camerinus detected and crushed a conspiracy to restore the Tarquins to power. His fellow-consul Tullius died during the year, leaving him as sole ruler.[1][2][3][4][5]

Camerinus was the first consul of a patrician family of the Sulpicii which may have taken its name from the town of Cameria or Camerium in Latium. He was the father of Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, consul in 490 BC.
