Corbulo: Cn. Domitius Corbulo (PIR2 D 142; RE Suppl. III, Domitius 50; Ritterling [1932] 48–9; Eck [1985] 117–19), half-brother of Suillius (1.1n.). Corbulo's career prior to his legateship of lower Germany is ill documented: he perhaps held a septemvirate between June 39 and January 41 (Vervaet [1999] 599), and he rather than his father was probably suff. cos. in 39 (Tortoriello [2004] 621–2). T.'s use of the cognomen ‘Corbulo’ alone suggests that he has already appeared in a lost portion of the Annals, and mox…fuit below implies that this was his first senior military post. See Syme (1958) 451, (1970b) 38 = (1979b) 822; Martin (1994) 155 n.25; for Corbulo's background see also Vervaet (2000); Kavanagh (2010).
