    • Cic. Brut. 135, who mentions him with the Consul of 99, but does not specify which flaminate he held. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Monetalis. In MRR 2.450, and Index, 607, refer also to Crawford, RRC 1.282, no. 252, 131 B.C. Flamen (Cic. Brut. 135: flamen Albinus). Which flaminate and the dates are uncertain. Sumner (Orators 84) suggests that he was Flamen Martialis, the flaminate favored by the Postumii, in succession to L. Valerius Flaccus (175). Cos. 131, if he died early (ca. 129/128). This would leave a possible interval of some years for the flaminate of Albinus before his own death and the succession of L. Valerius Flaccus (176). Cos. 100, perhaps ca. 109 or 108. But Albinus may have been a Flamen Quirinalis instead. (Broughton MRR III)
