16 A.D. The cognomen of the cos. suff. C. Vibius should be Rufinus and not Libo. (Prosopographia Imperii Romani iii, 396; De Laet, 413; Inscriptiones Italiae, xiii.) 32. L. Arruntius Camillus Scribonianus. A new inscription (AE 1945, 33) substantiates this name. 33. The name of the future emperor, consul ordinarius, appears as L. Livius Ocella Sulpicius Galba. (This corroborates Suet. Galba, 4.) (AE 1945, 33.) July 1. C. Octavius, cos. suff., probably the curator aquarum of 34, C. Octavius Laenas. (AE 1945, 33.) 38. The praenomen of the cos. suff. Asinius Celer is Servius, not Sextus. He was the son of C. Asinius Gallus, the cos. of 8 B.C. (PIR i2, 244, 1925.) 49. The praenomen of the cos. suff. Allius Maximus is Quintus and not Lucius. (De Laet, 935; PIR i2, 92, 547; Real-Encyclopiidie i, 1586.) 55. N. Cestius, cos. suff. after March 1, with L. Antistius Vetus. (De Laet, 975; PIR i2, 151, 776; ii2, 152, 689.) 65. A Licinius Nerva Silianus Pasidienus Firmus is the fuller form of the name of the cos. ord. (AE 1946, 124, Inscriptiones Italiae, xiii.) 68. The nomen of the cos. suff. Natalis probably should be Bellicius and not Bellicus. (De Laet, 1320; PIR i2, 362, 101.) 70. The fuller name of the cos. suff. appears as C. Laecanius Bassus Caecina Paetus. (De Laet, 1394; PIR ii2, 20, 104; RE xii, 397.) 76. Sex. Sentius Sex. f. Quir. Caecilianus, cos. suff. (AE 1941, 79.) 78. D. Iunius Novius Priscus is the fuller form of the name of the cos. ord. (De Laet, 1641; RE xvii, 1919.) 82. [In]noc[ens] and [Mo]dest[us], coss. suff., formerly assigned to 84 (AJA xliii, 279), must now be placed in this year. (AE 1940, 92.) 84. May. .... ursus. (AE 1940, 92.) 94. May 1. D. Valerius Asiaticus and A. lulius Quadratus. These suffecti were previously erroneously placed in 93 because of an error in the number of Domitian's tribunician power. (CIL xvi, 39.) (AE, 1940, 92.) Sept. 1. L. Silius Decianus and T. Pomponius Bassus, suffecti in 94 and not 93. (Same ref. as above.) 95. The praenomen of the cos. ord. Flavius Clemens is Titus. (Same.) Jan. 13. L. Neratius Marcellus, cos. suff. (Same.) May 1. A. Lappius Maximus II with P. Ducenius Verus (cf. Celsus Dig. 31, 29). (Same.) Sept. 1. Q. Pomponius Rufus with L. Baebius Tullus. (Same.) 96. C. is the praenomen given to the cos. ord. Manlius Valens in the new inscription; he was previously known as Titus (cf. Dio LXVII, 14-15). (Same.)

leaves of the fan accentuate the vertical axis and emphasize the upper part of the anthemion at the expense of the firm, horizontal lower part. There are wide angles between the outer contours of the volutes and the lower leaves on the Parian anthemion; the lower leaves of the Thasian anthemion fall directly on the volutes, without intervening angles as if drawn backward by them. The axiom rK r7ijvL&a4*~i AppovLadoes not influence our carver, so pb6rrwc there is no effort to emphasize the vertical axis; this fact groups our Thasian anthemion with other earlier finials having fewer leaves.29 That our anthemion is earlier than the Parian example there is no doubt. Whether the design is an older Parian creation transplanted to the province of Thasos, daughter of Paros, or whether it came from another island and is Ionic in general, or whether it is a local creation is difficult to decide, especially if we keep in mind the rich unpublished remains of decorative Ionic architecture in the Museum of Thasos. One thing is sure, and that is that our anthemion has none of the Cycladic freshness of the metropolis current in the years of the early Free Style. It still lives in the atmosphere of older days and is more related to the adjacent east, rich in charm and sentiment. It was Ionic inspiration in general that nurtured, immediately after 500 B.C., our attractive and, thus, far, our only Thasian flower, which once stood on the grave of a mortal now unknown to us.

FASTI CONSULARES The listing of consuls below is a third supplement to W. Liebenam, Fasti Consulares Imperii Romani, Bonn, 1909. Both previous supplements appeared in this JOURNAL(Harrer and Griffin, xxxiv (1930), 3-7; Harrer and Suskin, xliii (1939), 278-284). The source and reference materials for this list of consuls are essentially the same as those mentioned in the previous articles. L'Annre Epigraphique, the chief source, has been examined for the years 1938 through 1947 and has been checked against Inscriptiones Italiae, xiii (1947). The Italian journal Epigraphica which began publication in 1939, has been used through the latest available issue (1946). De Samenstelling van den Romeinschen Senaat, by S. J. De Laet (Antwerp, De Sikkel, 1941), has been useful, as well as Inscriptions latines de la Tunisie, 1944, by A. Merlin. The first section lists years and consuls definitely established. 22 B.c. L. Munatius, consul suffectus. (AE 1938, 66.) 29Cf. the examplefromChios:Eph 1938,p. 101,fig. 1.
