Literature

Dietz: Senatus (1980) p.39 (L. Aconius (L.f. Pomptina) Callistus signo Cynegius, probably not the tr mil)

Dobo: Verwaltung Pannonien (1968) p.120-121 (§100 L. Aconius ?, cos suff start 3rd century)

Fitz: Pannonien (1993-1995) p.338 (§244 L. Aconius Statura), p.1022 (§665 Anonymus, could be a L. Aconius, but this is just one possibility, another is the clar vir

C. Rufius Festus Laelius Firmus from Volsinii), p.1115 (§754 L. Aconius Callistus, tr mil XIIII Gem)

Jacques: Curateurs (1983) p.305-306 (§XXIV bis L. Aconius Callistus, signo Cynegius, there are possibly four Aconii in Volsinii, (1) the curator (2) the aedil,

(3) the tr mil and (4) the Laurens Lavinas).

Leunissen: Konsuln (1989) p.189, 259 (Ignotus CIL-XI-2699 = ILS5013, cos suff before his governorship of Pann Sup under Severus Alexander)

Reidinger: Pannonien (1956) p.107-108 (§XXI Anonymus, Reidinger suggests he was a L. Aconius, father of the tr mil who set up the inscription)
