Quintus Servilius Priscus Structus (consul 468 BC)
Quintus Servilius Priscus Structus was a Roman statesman who served as Consul in 468 BC and 466 BC.
Consulship
In 468 BC, he became consul alongside Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus. He was elected by the patricians only, as plebeians refused to vote. During the year, he was given command of Roman forced against the Sabines who have ravaged Latium and the Roman lands. He in turn ravaged the Sabine territory, and recovered a greater amount of booty than the Sabines had. There was no major engagement with the Sabines, although the war with them which had been ongoing since 470 BC seems to have abated at this time.
In 466 BC, he became consul for the second time with Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis. He led a Roman army into the Aequian territory to continue a war against them. However an illness through the Roman camp prevented any military engagement.[1]
In 465 BC Servilius was appointed Praefectus urbi during a justitium when both consuls were to be absent from Rome dealing with the ongoing military threat from the Aequi.[2]
