in the year 160/161. Bowersock identifies the earthquake Aristides alludes to as the one of 161 by identifying the Asiarch in office during Albus' tenure, Tiberius Claudius Polydeucus Marcellus, with another one mentioned in an inscription from Magnesia on the Maeander which can be dated between 10 December 161 and 9 December 162. Bowersock also provides further evidence that Vedius Antoninus was active in the early 160s. The other school of opinion, championed by Eck, Alföldy, and Ronald Syme, argues that Aristides' earthquake happened earlier, between 147 and 149. Syme notes that Publius Mummius Sisenna Rutilianus, suffect consul in 146, better fits the years 160/161, and Bowersock's choice as governor in 146/147, Atilius Maximus, is a ghost, providing room for Albus to be dated earlier.
