- consul 267 - 266 BC
A consul was the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic , and the consulship was considered the highest level of the «i»cursus honorum «/i» (the sequential order of public offices through which aspiring politicians sought to ascend).
Each year, two consuls were elected together, to serve for a one-year term. The consuls alternated in holding imperium each month, and a consul's imperium extended over Rome, Italy, and the provinces. However, after the establishment of the Empire, the consuls were merely a figurative representative of Rome's republican heritage and held very little power and authority, with the Emperor acting as the supreme leader.

Lucius Julius Libo was a member of the influential Julii clan. This patrician family was always of the most distinguished blood, however they had long since fallen out of the inner Roman elite. The Julii were active in politics since the Punic Wars .
Libo descended from the Julii who fled from Alba Longa to Rome. This city was destroyed by the Roman king Tullus Hostilius . His ancestors claimed their descent from the goddess Venus and the first Roman king Romulus . He had a son of the same name Lucius Julius Libo II with Caecilia Metella Macedonica, daughter of Lucius Caecilius Metellus Denter and Barsine of Macedonia.
Libo was consul in 267 BC. According to the Fasti Triumphales he celebrated a triumph over the Sallentini on 23 January 266 BC. His son of the same name was father to Numerius Julius Caesar , born before 300 BC. Numerius was a grandfather to Sextus Julius Caesar I , the great-great-grandfather of Gaius Julius Caesar IV .
