362 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGYleaves of the fan accentuate the vertical axis andemphasize the upper part of the anthemion at theexpense of the firm, horizontal lower part. There arewide angles between the outer contours of the volutesand the lower leaves on the Parian anthemion; thelower leaves of the Thasian anthemion fall directlyon the volutes, without intervening angles as ifdrawn backward by them. The axiom rK r7ijvL a4*-pb6rrwc i AppovLadoes not influence our carver, sothere is no effort to emphasize the vertical axis; thisfact groups our Thasian anthemion with other earlierfinials having fewer leaves.29That our anthemion is earlier than the Parianexample there is no doubt. Whether the design is anolder Parian creation transplanted to the province ofThasos, daughter of Paros, or whether it came fromanother island and is Ionic in general, or whetherit is a local creation is difficult to decide, especiallyif we keep in mind the rich unpublished remains ofdecorative Ionic architecture in the Museum ofThasos. One thing is sure, and that is that our an-themion has none of the Cycladic freshness of themetropolis current in the years of the early FreeStyle. It still lives in the atmosphere of older daysand is more related to the adjacent east, rich in charmand sentiment. It was Ionic inspiration in generalthat nurtured, immediately after 500 B.C., our at-tractive and, thus, far, our only Thasian flower,which once stood on the grave of a mortal now un-known to us.

FASTI CONSULARESThe listing of consuls below is a third supplementto W. Liebenam, Fasti Consulares Imperii Romani,Bonn, 1909. Both previous supplements appeared inthis JOURNAL(Harrer and Griffin,xxxiv (1930), 3-7;Harrer and Suskin, xliii (1939), 278-284). The sourceand reference materials for this list of consuls are

essentially the same as those mentioned in the pre-vious articles. L'Annre Epigraphique, the chief source,has been examined for the years 1938 through 1947and has been checked against Inscriptiones Italiae,xiii (1947). The Italian journal Epigraphica whichbegan publication in 1939, has been used through thelatest available issue (1946). De Samenstelling van denRomeinschen Senaat, by S. J. De Laet (Antwerp,De Sikkel, 1941), has been useful, as well as Inscrip-tions latines de la Tunisie, 1944, by A. Merlin.The first section lists years and consuls definitelyestablished.22 B.c. L. Munatius, consul suffectus. (AE 1938, 66.)

16 A.D. The cognomen of the cos. suff. C. Vibiusshould be Rufinus and not Libo. (ProsopographiaImperii Romani iii, 396; De Laet, 413; InscriptionesItaliae, xiii.)

32. L. Arruntius Camillus Scribonianus. A newinscription (AE 1945, 33) substantiates this name.33. The name of the future emperor, consul or-dinarius, appears as L. Livius Ocella Sulpicius Galba.(This corroborates Suet. Galba, 4.) (AE 1945, 33.)July 1. C. Octavius, cos. suff., probably the curatoraquarum of 34, C. Octavius Laenas. (AE 1945, 33.)38.

Allius Maximusis Quintus and not Lucius. (De Laet, 935; PIR i2,92, 547; Real-Encyclopiidie i, 1586.)55. N. Cestius, cos. suff. after March 1, with L.Antistius Vetus. (De Laet, 975; PIR i2, 151, 776;ii2, 152, 689.)65. A Licinius Nerva Silianus Pasidienus Firmusis the fuller form of the name of the cos. ord. (AE1946, 124, Inscriptiones Italiae, xiii.)68.

(AE 1940, 92.)94. May 1. D. Valerius Asiaticus and A. luliusQuadratus. These suffecti were previously errone-ously placed in 93 because of an error in the numberof Domitian's tribunician power. (CIL xvi, 39.)(AE, 1940, 92.)Sept. 1. L. Silius Decianus and T. PomponiusBassus, suffecti in 94 and not 93. (Same ref. as above.)95. The praenomen of the cos. ord. Flavius Clemensis Titus.
