Vetus
3. C. Antistius Vetus, son of No. 2, was consul in B. C. 6 with D. Laelius Balbus; and as he lived to see both his sons consuls, he must have been alive at least as late as A. D. 28. (D. C. 55.9; Vell. 2.43.) He was a friend of Velleius Paterculus, from whom we learn (l.c.) that Vetus was a pontifex.
