Notes:
C. Pescennius Niger's parents and career prior
to his governorship of Syria is disputed by scholars and some probably
fictitious (from Vita Nigri in Historia Augusta)
Thus if one believes he was governor of Dacia
c.183, then his suffect consulate should be c.180/183, if legatus legionis,
then consulate is later.
