Crassus, Papirius
2. L. Papirius Crassus was consul in B. C. 436 with M. Cornelius Maluginensis. They led armies against Veii and Falerii, but as no enemy appeared in the field, the Romans contented themselves with plundering and ravaging the open country. (Liv. 4.21; Diod. 12.41.) Crassus was censor in B. C. 424.
