Publius Servilius Priscus

Publius Servilius Priscus was a Roman senator active in the fifth century BC and consul in 463 BC.

Family He was probably the son of Spurius Servilius Structus (consul in 476 BC), and the father of Quintus Servilius Priscus Fidenas, dictator in 435 and 418 BC. Diodorus Siculus gives him the paternal cognomen of "Structus", which was carried by his ancestors, but the name was not given to him by either the Fasti Capitolini or Livy (4.21.9).

Biography In 463 BC, he was elected consul with Lucius Aebutius Helva as his colleague. It entered the city because the peasants took refuge in Rome, bringing their livestock with them. Both Helva and Priscus fell to the pestilence, in that order. The augurs, Manius Valerius Maximus and Titus Verginius Tricostus Rutilus, and Curio Maximus Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus fell to the affliction that year as well.
