Literature

Alföldy: Konsulat (1977) p.179-180 and 310 (L. Tusidius Campester cos suff 165, possible son of M67)

Birley: Roman Government of Britain (2005) p.307-309 (M. Maenius Agrippa M67) prefers the expeditio Britannica to be c.130.

discusses when the expeditio Britannica of Maenius Agrippa (M67) took place, preferring 122 over c.130

Brunt, P.A.: "The Administrators of Roman Egypt", in JRS Vol. 65 (1975), pp. 142 states that P. Maenius Flavianus M68 does not exist referring to

in ZPE, Bd. 134 (2001), pp. 251-260 dates his consulate to 142 and not 164/165 as previously thought.

Frere, S.S.: "M. Maenius Agrippa, the 'Expeditio Britannica' and Maryport", in Britannia, Vol. 31 (2000), pp. 23-28 follows Eric Birley and rejects 122 or 117/119.
