In 193 BC, he was elected praetor. The province he administered was Corsica and Sardinia.[1] After having been in vain a candidate for consul several times, he was elected consul in 184 BC together with Publius Claudius Pulcher as his colleague.[2] Both consuls waged war against the Ligurians, accomplishing not much of note. During the war, Licinus vowed to Venus that he would build her a temple, which his son (or brother) dedicated in Rome in 181 BC, the Temple of Venus Erycina at the Porta Collina.[3]
