Talk:Marcus Annius Libo

Suffect consul in 161?
This is a puzzling claim; being consul ordinarius usually came after being appointed consul suffectus & to my knowledge never the other order. Further, a second consulate usually came around 20 years after the first, not 33: if Libo had received the fasces anno suo, he would have been 32-35 in 128 & 65-68 for his second. Seeing that his homonymious son was governor of Syria -- an office that followed holding the consul -- I suspect the Marcus Annius Libo who was consul in 161 is the son. But I'd like some reliable citation to verify this inference. (Géza Alföldy's Konsulat und Senatorenstand unter der Antoninen (1977) appears to distinguish the two -- see pp. 88f, for example.)
