page 243 note 2 P.-W. and C.A.H. agree in dating the conspiracy to 31 B.C., but Velleius ii. 88, ‘dum ultimam bello Actiaco Alexandrinoque Caesar imponit manum’, is strong evidence for a date late in 30 B.C.; and the consul Balbinus who was involved in the events following the arrest of Lepidus may well be Lucius Saenius Balbinus, consul suffectus from 1 Nov. 30 B.C. The dispatch of Lepidus to Actium must then be referred to a later visit by Octavian (implied in Dio's narrative) to Actium, to supervise the laying out of Nicopolis, his victory town.
