<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4788584, member: 99456&quot;]Worth noting that the challenge of two &quot;Pater&quot;s came up with Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus - and didn&#039;t seem to create any issue.&nbsp; See the OP reference:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4">&quot;Receipt of PP in AD 166 accords with the evidence of the Historia Augusta that Marcus was offered the PP nomen while Verus was absent at the Parthian War but deferred taking it until his brother&#039;s return (SHA Marc. 9.1-3). After Verus had returned victorious from Syria in 166, PP was decreed to both because Marcus, in the absence of Verus, had conducted himself &#039;most moderately&#039; (moderatissime) towards senators and ordinary men.&quot;</font></p><p><font size="4">- <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/42666935" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/42666935" rel="nofollow">Tom Stevenson (2008) Numismatic Chronicle</a></font></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I find utility in older resources and some even a bit older than Stevenson e.g. Pliny, Plutarch, Appian, Dio Cassius, Cicero, Caesar, Livy, Paterculus, Sallust.....I don&#039;t want to go out too far on a limb, but there may have been one or two Greeks worth reading too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
