He was consul in 466 BC. [Livy, iii. 2] [Dionysius of Halicarnassus, ix. 60] He was one of the three commissioners sent into Greece to collect in­formation about the laws of that country, and was a member of the first decemvirate in 451 BC. [Livy, iii. 31, 33] [Dionysius of Halicarnassus, x. 52, 56] He commanded, as legatus, the center of the Roman army in the Battle of Corbione, in which the Aequians and Volscians were defeated in 446 BC. [Livy, iii. 70]

He was apparently the father of the Spurius Postumius Albus Regillensis who was consular tribune in 432 BC.
