Messala Barbatus may not be the same Messala who was consul in 20. I don't know what PIR, 2nd ed. has to say about the matter, but Ronald Syme, The Augustan Aristocracy treats them as if they are 2 different people. The matter needs more research. -- llywrch (talk) 21:29, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
