Lucius Valerius Potitus

Lucius[?] Valerius Potitus[?] was one of two consuls who were said to have replaced the decemvirs[?] in 449 BC (Marcus[?] Horatius[?] Barbatus[?] being the other).

The two were traditionally regarded as the patricians who reconciled with the plebeians, although their historical existence is doubtful; the laws attributed are known either to have predated them or to have come later (for instance the Lex Hortensia[?], making plebiscita[?] have the force of law, actually dates from around 287 BC).
