释义 |
For other persons with the cognomen "Albus" or "Albinus", see Albinus (cognomen).Aulus Postumius Albinus Luscus was a politician of Ancient Rome, of patrician rank, of the 2nd century BC.[1] He was curule aedile in 187 BC, when he exhibited the Great Games, praetor in 185 BC, and consul in 180 BC.[2] In his consulship he conducted the war against the Ligurians.[3] He was censor in 174 BC with Quintus Fulvius Flaccus. Their censorship was a severe one; they expelled nine members from the senate, and degraded many of equestrian rank. They enacted, however, many public works.[4][5] He was elected in his censorship one of the decemviri sacrorum in the place of Lucius Cornelius Lentulus.[6] In 175 BC he was sent into northern Greece to inquire into the truth of the representations of the Dardanians and Thessalians about the Bastarnae and Perseus of Macedon.[7] In 171 BC he was sent as one of the ambassadors to Crete;[8] and after the conquest of Macedonia in 168 BC he was one of the ten commissioners appointed to settle the affairs of the country with Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus.[9] Livy not infrequently calls him "Luscus", from which it would seem that he was blind in one eye.[1] FamilyHe was probably a brother of Spurius Postumius Albinus Paullulus and Lucius Postumius Albinus, and father of Aulus Postumius Albinus.
