Larcius Macedo: There were two men named Larcius, Larcius Licinius and Aulus Larcius Lepidus Licinianus, who reached the praetorship in the previous generation (the latter having served with the army in Judaea, the former who was honored by Domitian) as well as two who reached the consulship, Aulus Larcius Priscus (consul 110) and Marcus Larcius Stilo (consul in 82). None of these can certainly be identified as the patron of this person, a problem as the servile status of his father would, ordinarily, have precluded admission of the senate. One way in which this difficulty could have been avoided is by adoption, and the fact that Larcius Macedo's son's praenomen was Aulus might suggest that Aulus Larcius Lepidus Licinianus was the person in question. Larcius' son Aulus appears to have been launched on a senatorial career by the time of his father's death. He became consul in 123.
