Publius Curiatius Fistus Trigeminus was a Roman politician in the 5th century BC, consul in 453 BC and decemvir in 451 BC.
He was named Publius Curiatius by Livy, but named Publius Horatius by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Diodorus Siculus calls him only Trigeminus.[3] He could have been part of the gens Horatii rather than the Curiatii, two gentes that had opposed each other during the Roman monarchy in the fight of the Horatii and the Curiatii.
If he was part of the gens Curiatii, he was the only member of the family to become consul.
