Marcus Postumius Albinus Regillensis

Marcus Postumius Albinus Regillensis was an ancient Roman politician, of patrician family, in the late 5th century BC.[1] He is mentioned by Livy as consular tribune in 403 BC,[2] but this was demonstrated by later scholars to be an error.[1] In reality he was censor in that year with Marcus Furius Camillus.[3] In their censorship a fine was imposed upon all men who had remained single up until old age.[4][5][6]

For other persons with the cognomen "Albus" or "Albinus", see Albinus (cognomen).
