Albinus

2. SP. POSTUMIUS ALBUS REGILLENSIS, A. F. P. N., apparently, according to the Fasti, the son of the preceding, (though it must be observed, that in these early times no dependance can be placed upon these genealogies,) was consul B. C. 466. (Liv. 3.2; Dionys. A. R. 9.60.) He was one of the three commissioners sent into Greece to collect information about the laws of that country, and was a member of the first decemvirate in 451. (Liv. 3.31, 33; Dionys. A. R. 10.52, 56.) He commanded, as legatus, the centre of the Roman army in the battle in which the Aequians and Volscians were defeated in 446. (Liv. 3.70.)
