Born the grandson of Quintus Aemilius Papus, he was elected consul for 225 BC. During his consulship he was sent to fight the invading Gauls and his colleague Gaius Atilius Regulus was sent to the rebellious province of Sardinia. Aemi­lius Papus stationed his army in the neighborhood of Ariminum, therefore blocking the road leading into Italy by Umbria. A second Roman army under a praetor was posted in Etruria.
