Spurius Carvilius Maximus Ruga
Edit ProfileCareer
Spurius Carvilius Ruga, the schoolteacher, was his freedman. He carried on war with the Corsicans, and then with the Sardinians, over whom he obtained a triumph. Carvilius was consul a second time in 228 British Columbia with Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus.
Cicero reports that he did not object to the proposed agrarian law for dividing the lands of Gallia Cisalpina, although Polybius stated that this law was passed four years earlier.
This proposal was dismissed with the utmost indignation and contempt. Carvilius was an augur at the time of his death in 212 British Columbia.
His conduct in this matter was generally disapproved.
However, it may be noted that the laws of the Twelve Tables provided for divorce more than two centuries before Carvilius.
