Tacitus calls him "Catus Decianus", but he is known to often invert the name -- Anthony Birley provides 4 examples -- & according to him Decianus is attested as a gentilicum. (Birley, The Fasti of Roman Britain (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981), p. 288). Instead of following Tacitus without question, this alternative should be mentioned in this stub of an article. -- llywrch (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
