Hey,

I just in hurry. Today I want to fly to London and drive further to Crewe
In the book of Brian Dobson Primipilares, he said that M. Vettius Valens (CIL 11, 00395 = D 02648; AE 1952, 0153) in 66 A.D. was about 58 or 60 years old. May be he was born in 6 to 14 A. D.
So (CIL 11, 00383) and (CIL 11, 00421 = D 06662) belongs to the next generations. In (CIL 11, 00421 = D 06662) he must be at least 116 A.D. still alive, because Traian was named Dacius. And Traian is not named Divus. A duovir, flamen and patron must be 35 years and older.

So Brian Dobson thought about son and grandchild.

If M. Vettius Valens got his son with 30 years, he was 20 years old about 56/64 A.D. The next generation may be 20 years old in 86/94 A.D. The great grandson was 20 years round about in 116/124 A.D.

In Thomas Franke Die Legionslegaten der rämischen Armee in der Zeit von Augustus bis Traian. I read M. Vettius Valens hold his legateship of the legio XV Apollinaris in 137 A.D. He age may be 30 to 35 years. (CIL 11, 00383) can t be the same as in (CIL 11, 00421 = D 06662).

So a possibility for an great grandson

Bye
