No year can excite a sharper curiosity than that which was introduced by Nerva, the new Emperor, and L. Verginius Rufus, each holding the fasces for the third time. A small but significant fragment of the Ostian Fasti was recently discovered by G. Barbieri. It came too late to be used by A. Degrassi in his Fasti Consolari (1952), but that scholar was fortunately able to publish it in his ‘Aggiunte’ (p. 288), whence JRS XLIII (1953), 150, with brief comments. The fragment carries the names of three consuls, disposed vertically; it was assumed to be the right-hand side of a block, giving the second consul of three successive pairs; and it was reproduced as such. Meanwhile, however, Barbieri himself had published the fragment in the course of 1953.
1 ‘Nuovi frammenti di Fasti Ostiensi,’ Studi Romani I, no. 4 (Luglio-Agosto, 1953), 365 ff. There is a photograph on plate I, facing p. 370. Dr. Barbieri dispatched an offprint with courtesy and promptitude, but (through mishap), it only came into my hands towards the end of the year, when JRS XLIII was already with the printers.
