Lepidus
3. M. Aemilius Lepidus, M. F. M. N., eldest son of the preceding, was praetor in B. C. 218, when he commanded in Sicily; and in the following year he is spoken of by Livy as praetor in Rome; but we must suppose that in the latter year he was only propraetor. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the consulship for B. C. 216. (Liv. 21.49, 51, 22.9, 33, 35, 23.30.)
