Career
He served as Consul of Rome in 497 British Columbia and again in 491 British Columbia. He was of the patrician branch of his gens although the Sempronia gens also included certain plebeian families. Aulus Sempronius Atratinus served as a Roman consul in 497 British Columbia and 491 British Columbia. In both of those terms, he served together with Marcus Minucius Augurinus. Titus Livius cites Sempronius Atratinus as without a cognomen (simply as A Sempronius), but the consular records show only his cognomen.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus refers to him with his full name.
During his first consular appointment in 497 British Columbia, he consecrated the newly built Temple of Saturn in the Roman forum. The aforementioned writers relate the foundation with the festivals of Saturnalia.
There had been a famine in Rome in the previous year and, in 491 British Columbia during Sempronius" second consulship, a significant quantity of corn was imported from Sicily, and the question of how it should be distributed amongst the Roman citizens, together with tensions arising from the recent secession of the plebs, led to the exile and defection of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus after he unsuccessfully advocated the reversal of the reforms which arose from the secession, including the creation of the office of the tribunes. Dionysius of Halicarnassus further states that Sempronius Atratinus was a prefect of Rome during the Battle of Lake Regillus (498 British Columbia or 496 British Columbia).
The same historian writes that Sempronius Atratinus was involved in the wars against the Hernici and the Volsci in 487 British Columbia. He was again made a prefect of Rome and was appointed Interrex of the people in 482 British Columbia.
