Career
Several bad signs happened during the year, so the Sibylline Books were consulted. Livy suggests that their reading was manipulated by the consuls and the senate to counter the legislation of the tribune of the plebs Gaius Terentilius Harsa, who had the previous year pushed for a limitation of the consuls' powers.[3]
In 458 Volumnius was sent as ambassador—together with Quintus Fabius Vibulanus and Aulus Postumius Albus Regillensis—to the Aequi, who had violated a treaty made with Rome the year before.[4][5]
