10. MAGIUS CELER VELLBIANUS, a brother of the historian Velleius Paterculus, must have been adopted by a Magius Celer. He served as legate to Tiberius in the Dalmatian war, A. D. 9, and shared in the honours of his commander's triumph. At the time of Augustus's death (A. D. 14) he and his brother were the " candidati Caesaris " for the praetorship. (Vell. 2.115, 121, 124.)
