<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 8209166, member: 89514&quot;]From a recent e-mail of mine to Johan van Heesch, the prospective author of the revised RIC volume for the Antonine period:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I have the original 1990 edition of Kienast’s Kaisertabelle, which makes the same statement: Lucilla born 7 March 149, citing IGRR I 1509.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>However, that inscription attests only the day of Lucilla’s birth, 7 March, not the year, which could be 149, 150, or 151.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not 7 March 148, since Faustina II’s first child was born on 30 Nov. 147, so the second cannot have come before 8-9 months after that. And probably not 152 or later, since we know that Lucilla married L. Verus c. 165 AD, probably being at least 13 years old at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Marcus’ resumption of his TR P in c. spring 151 points strongly towards Lucilla’s having been born on 7 March 151, as Marcus’ only and of course eldest living daughter at the time. Choosing any other year will present the problem of having to discover some other reason why Marcus apparently renounced his TR P from 149 until 151.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
