Corculum was elected consul a second time in 155, together with the plebeian Marcus Claudius Marcellus—former consul in 166, and the grandson of the great Claudius Marcellus. Corculum was once again described as consul "prior" by Cassiodorus. His election broke the ten-year-rule fixed by the "Lex Villia", which forbade iterations of a magistracy within ten years. Since Corculum's short-lived colleague in 162 Marcius Figulus was also elected consul in 156, both former consuls must have argued that they were not really concerned by the "Lex Villia" as their consulship had been cancelled.
