page 159 note 3 Nipperdey supposed Agricola to have ‘succeeded Frontinus in Britain in July of 77,’ but gave no explanation of transvecta aestas, nor did he state precisely when he supposed him to have held the consulship.

page 159 note 4 Nipperdey apparently thought that, even if he had been consul at the end of 77, it would have been quite natural that he should travel at once to Britain. No governor-elect would be expected to set out in winter unless there were a very grave emergency.
