Lucius Veturius Philo (consul 220 BC)


Lucius Veturius Philo was a Roman statesman who served as consul in 220 BC, dictator in 217 BC, and censor in 210 BC. Irregularities were found in his appointment as dictator and he resigned after fourteen days. He was a member of the gens Veturia.
He was the father of another Lucius Veturius Philo, who served as consul in 206 BC.
Philo died in 210 BC, while serving as censor, before he had the chance to enter the senate or "transact any public business whatsoever". The other censor, Publius Licinius Crassus, immediately resigned the censorship upon the death of his colleague.
