During the Second Punic War, in 213/212 BC, Quinctius served in the army that besieged Syracuse. In 209 BC, he was elected praetor. In 208 BC, Quinctius was elected consul together with Marcus Claudius Marcellus as his colleague. The consuls marched to Venosa, where they were soundly defeated by the Carthaginians.
