Literature Birley: Roman Government of Britain (2005) p.181-183 discusses when C. Iulius Asper cos II 212 was patron of Britannia.
Cecere, Maria Grazia Granino: "Iscrizioni senatorie di Roma e dintorni. Lavinium", in Epigrafia e ordine senatorio, Tituli 4, Roma, 1982, p. 662-66
on inscription of Camilius Asper as curator rei publicae at Lavinium (ARTICLE NOT AVAILABLE TO ME)
Cecere, Maria Grazia Granino: "Iulii Aspri e Maesii Titiani in un documento epigrafico dell'ager Tusculanus", in MEFRA, tome 102, 1990, p.139-157
on inscription making Maesia Titiana the great granddaughter of C. Iulius Camilius Asper cos ord 212; with stemma p.157
Crook: Consilium Principis (1955) p.167 (§171a C. Iulius Asper cos II 212, amicus of Caracalla and Geta)
Dietz, K. : "Iulius Asper, Verteidiger der Provinzen unter Septimius Severus", in Chiron Band 27, 1997, p.483-523 with stemma p.523, analyses in detail the many
inscriptions and concludes he was cos suff  under Severus, not Commodus and the career in PIR given to his son J334 belongs to Asper senior.
 The nomen Galerius becomes tribus Galeria instead.
Halfmann: Senatoren (1979) p.200 (§134 C. Iulius Asper, cos II 212)
Leunissen: Konsuln (1989) p.135, 145, 216, 225-226, 309, 367, 373, 402 (C. Iulius Asper cos II 212), 
p.135, 315, 326, 368, 373, 380, 402 (C. Iulius Camilius Asper cos 212), 
Mann, J.C.: "The Division of Britain in AD 197", in ZPE Bd. 119 (1997), p.251-254 also (see Dietz) concludes that the career of C. Iulius Galerius Asper in PIR
J334 belongs to his father J182. Article superceded by Dietz detailed analysis.
Peachin, Michael: "The Case of The Heiress Camilia Pia", in Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. 96 (1994), pp. 301-341 attempt to link the heiress to
the Iulii Aspri, as a daughter of either cos II 212 or cos 212. based on J334 having the name Camilius. Seems a very tenuous connection, since the date 
of this case is unknown (under Severus or Caracalla ?). Peachin's stemma (p.315) of the Iulii Aspri is now obsolete (cf. Dietz).
PIR letter J with stemma p.147: assigns the career of tr pl etc to Galerius Asper junior (cos 212) and thus makes him a plebeian, while his brother was made a Patrician. 
Dietz and Mann now assign this career to his father J182, thus allowing J334 to be the same man as Iulius Asper, salius Palatinus.

however newer scholarship now shows this quaestorship to belong to his father J182.)
