Marcius served as tribune of the people in 311 BC. In 310, he was consul together with Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus. In that year, he fought against the Samnites and conquered Alifae in Campania, but was seriously wounded in a subsequent battle.[1] In 300, he was named as one of the first plebian pontiffs and as augur. He served as censor in 294 and 265 BC. He is said to have brought forward a law precluding anyone from holding the censorship more than twice in the future.[2]
It is because of this law that he is attributed the cognomen Censorinus.
