Remarks

  1. ↑ According to Werner Eck , Peter Weiß , Neviomagus is probably one of the places with the name Noviomagus ; Regulus presumably came from Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum , today's Nijmegen.
  2. ↑ According to Werner Eck, Peter Weiß was probably Marcus Macrinius Vindex , Praetorian prefect under Marcus Aurelius , a relative of Regulus, possibly his brother.
