Albinus

10. A. Postumius Albinus, A. F. L. N., was consul B. C. 242 with Lutatius Catulus, who defeated the Carthaginians off the Aegates, and thus brought the first Punic war to an end. Albinus was kept in the city, against his will, by the Pontifex Maximus, because he was Flamen Martialis. (Liv. Epit. 19, 23.13; Eutrop. 2.27; V. Max. 1.1.2.) He was censor in 234. (Fasti Capitol.)
