Gaius Papirius Maso

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

Not to be confused with Gaius Papirius Carbo (consul 120 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]
