Over the next ten centuries,few gentes produced as many distinguished men,and at every period the name of Valerius was constantly to be found in the lists of annual magistrates,and held in the highest honour.

The gens Papiria was a patrician family at ancient Rome.

The patrician members of the family regularly occupied the highest offices of the Roman state down to the time of the Punic Wars. Their most famous member was Lucius Papirius Cursor,five times consul between 326 and 313 BC,who earned three triumphs during the Samnite Wars.
