Lucius Valerius Potitus (consul 483 BC)

[1] He held the office of quaestor parricidii in 485 BC in connection with the trial and execution of Spurius Cassius Vecellinus.

[3] According to Livy, during Valerius' first consulship in 483 BC the tribunes continued their attempts to increase their powers, but were at that time successfully resisted by the Roman Senate.

[2] In his second consulship in 470 BC Valerius led Roman troops against the Aequi.

[4] In 464 BC there were hostilities with the Aequi again and as both consuls were absent from Rome conducting the war, a justitium was declared.

Valerius was appointed praefectus urbi and was left in charge of defending the city.
