Quintus Publilius Philo

Roman expansion in Italy from 500 BC to 218 BC. The Roman Republic was expanding rapidly in the time of Publilius. The red area represents Roman territory in 338 BC, at the end of his first consulship.

Quintus Publilius Philo was a Roman politician who lived during the 4th century BC. His birth date is not provided by extant sources, however, a reasonable estimate is about 365 BC, since he first became consul in 339 BC at a time when consuls could be elected in their twenties (Livy 7.26.12). His Greek cognomen ‘Philo’ was unique to his family.

His family was plebeian, and the gens won its first attested election via Publilius Volero as tribune in 472 BC.[1] Volero passed two important pieces of legislation which increased the power of a Tribune.[2] Philo came from a family accustomed to promoting the rights of the plebs.
