Summary

THE consuls are illustrated in the Tables from Gruter and Norisius. In the following list farther testimonies are added in the notes from the copious and valuable collections of Muratori, whose work was not within reach when the Tables were composed. From that collection the descriptions and the names of some consuls have been corrected or supplied: as Eggius Ambibulus at A. D. 126, M. Antonius Hiherus at 133, Bruttius Præsens II at 139, M. Pompeius Macrinus in 164, Sosius Priscus Senecio in 169, P. Cornelius Sæcularis II et Junius Donatus II in 260, Antonius Marcellinus et Petronius Probinus in 341, Flavius Cæsarius et Nonius Atticus in 397.

The second and third columns give an expanded view of the consulships in the Paschal Chronicle and in Cassiodorus, that these may be compared with the true list in each step of the series. From the 7th of Constantine A. D. 312 to the 20th of Heraclius A. D. 630 the Chronicle has the right number of consulships, but in the preceding period, from the death of Augustus A. D. 14 to the 7th of Constantine A. D. 312, are some interpolations and some omissions, which disturb the series in many parts, and place many consulships either above or below their true position. In the whole number between Sex. Pompeius Sex. Apuleius A. D. 14 and Constantin. II Licin. II A. D. 312 the Chronicle has two interpolated years, which carry back the consuls Pompeius et Apuleius to A. D. 12 two years higher than their real station.
