Literature

Christol: Carrieres Senatoriales (1986) p.238-239 (§51 Postumius Quietus P890), mentions Postumia Metonia, Postumia Iovina, Postumia Victoria and her father Postumius Evagoras

Curchin: Local Magistrates of Roman Spain (1990) p.194-195 (§562+§574 M.Postumius Albinus), p.223 (§881 L.Postumius Fabullus PME-P103)

Fitz: Pannonien (1995) p.1109 (§744 Q.Postumius Lepidinus PME-P105)

Hayne, Leonie: "The Condemnation of Sp. Postumius Albinus (cos 110) ", in Acta Classica, Vol. 24, 1981, pp. 61-70

Jacques: Curateurs (1983) p.293-294 (§XIX P.Postumius Marianus P888)

Scheid: Freres Arvales (1975) p.273 (Q.Postumius Ca… P885)

Settipani: Continuite p.70 (proposed stemma of Republican Postumii), p.372-373 stemma for the Flavii Postumii. Possible but very conjectural.

Syme, Ronald: "No son for Caesar ?", in Historia, Bd. 29, 1980, pp. 422-437. On p.429-430 he refers to the possibility that D.Iunius Brutus was the son of a Postumis,

since the son of Ser.Sulpicius Rufus cos 51 is referred to as his cousin. Also usually the adoptee is a relative of the adopter.

Thomasson: Fasti Africani (1996) p.113 (§45 C.Postumius Africanus P884)
