Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus (fl.c. 500–463 BC) wasconsul atRome in the year 500 BC withManius Tullius Longus.
Livy reports that no important events occurred during this year, butDionysius of Halicarnassus states that Camerinus detected and crushed a conspiracy to restore theTarquins to power and fought theFidenae. His fellow-consul Tullius died duringLudi Romani that year, leaving him as sole ruler.[1][2][3][4][5][6] As an ex-consul he was selected to be one of the ten envoys sent by the senate to treat with the plebeians during thefirst secessio plebis.[7]
Camerinus was the first consul of thepatricianfamily of theSulpicii, which may have taken its name from the town of Cameria or Camerium inLatium. He was the father ofQuintus Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, consul in 490 BC. He was also the first man to be clearly identified in ancient literature as acurio maximus, holding the office in 463 BC.[8]
