Talk:Alfenus Varus

Criticism
This article is linked to the Alfenus Varus of 39 BC & the one of AD 2 -- which is unlikely to be the same person. For one thing, the consul of AD 2 is not marked as consul iter; either the records are wrong, or they are not the same person. Further, IIRC a man had to be 35 at the youngest to be consul, & usually older. Thus if the consul of 39 BC were consul in AD 2, he'd be very elderly -- in his 70s or even 80s. Since the article text alludes to Varus having a father, it is likely the consul of 39 BC is the elder & the other the son. Which one is the jurist is not clear, though. -- llywrch (talk) 18:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree. This article at present is based on very out-of-date sources. How about this article from Oxford Reference: ? Kanjuzi (talk) 10:17, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
