Marcus Valerius Volusus (or Volesus, sometimes referred to as M. Valerius Volusus Maximus) was a Roman consul with Publius Postumius Tubertus in 505 BC.
During his consulship in 505 BC he successfully conducted war with the Sabines and both consuls were awarded triumphs.
[1] After his consulship he was sent in 501 BC as an ambassador to Ferentium to hinder a new war with the Latins.
Some contradiction exists in the regards to his death at the Battle of Lake Regillus as in a few sources he is mentioned as being elected augur in 494 BC.
[4] He might have had a second son, named Manius, who according to a dubious account by Festus was dictator in 501 BC and who could possibly be the augur mentioned as having died in 463 BC.
