This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 24 September 2020 and 11 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Bruisingspace01 (article contribs).

"Asinius Lupus" - seemingly a misnomer

The Apocolocyntosis passage (c.13) has been misconstrued:

Deinde praefecti duo Iustus Catonius et Rufrius Pollio. Deinde amici Saturninus Lusius et Pedo Pompeius et Lupus et Celer Asinius consulares.

Cf. Tacitus, Annals 13.43:

ii acerbitate accusationis Q. Pomponium ad necessitatem belli civilis detrusum, Iuliam Drusi filiam Sabinamque Poppaeam ad mortem actas et Valerium Asiaticum, Lusium Saturninum, Cornelium Lupum circumventos.

In other words, it is a question not of an "Asinius Lupus" but of a Cornelius Lupus.
