Gaius Papirius Maso

Not to be confused with Gaius Papirius Carbo (consul 120 BC).

Gaius Papirius Maso was a Roman politician in the third century BC.

Career

Papirius served as consul in 231 BC, with Marcus Pomponius Matho as his colleague.[1][2] In this year, the consuls defended against a Sardinian and Corsican revolt, Matho being defeated by the Sardinians, Papirius defeating the Corsicans and their Ligurian allies. The Senate, however, denied Papirius a triumph.[3]
