Consulship

In 452 BC, he was consul with Publius Sestius Capitolinus Vaticanus.[2][3] During their consulship, the delegates left to study Greek law in Athens. After returning to Rome, the tribunes of the plebs called together officials to create a commission to write the law down. Publius Sestius supported this proposition, contrary to Titus Menenius, who pondered the question before falling ill; then he was rendered inactive until the end of his term as consul.[3] Publius Sestius refused to take sole initiative in creating the commission, and so deferred the decision to the following year.[4]
