This article probably needs to be completely rewritten. For one thing, his full name as given in this article is different than the one Alföldi gives -- L. Fulvius [...] C. Bruttius Praesens Min[...] [Lab]erius Maxmus Pompeius L[...] Valens Cornelius Proculus [...] Aquilius Veiento (Konsulat und Senatorenstand unter der Antoninen (1977), p. 162 n. 93) -- which is based on an incomplete inscription, CIL X, 408, which is our major source for his career. Another point is that the possibility that Bruttius Praesens was proconsul of Africa is based on a damaged portion of this same inscription, which reads pr[...]: although some experts read a third letter, thus pro[...], which indicates the office of proconsul, there is no evidence that he was proconsul of Africa, or Asia, or simply pr[aef. urbi], e.g. Urban prefect (Alföldi, Konsulat und Senatorenstand, pp. 379-81). And lastly, the citation of authorities is, to put it kindly, rather loose; doubtless Syme researched this twice consul, but the one article cited, "An Eccentric Patrician", is primarily about another consular Senator, M'. Acilius Glabrio Cn. Cornelius Severus. -- llywrch (talk) 00:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
