The consular fasti for the first two years of the reign of Gaius have their full complement of consuls. Degrassi lists them as follows: 37* Cn. Acerronius Proculus, C. Petronius Pontius Nigrinus k. Iul. C. Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Ti. Claudius Nero Germamicus k. Sept. A. Caecina Paetus, C. Caninius Rebilus38* M. Aquila Iulianus, P. Nonius Asprenas k. Iul. Ser. Asinius Celer, Sex. Nonius Quintilianus (Quinctilianus) The most noteworthy feature about these years is that in 37 there is a change in the normal pattern for allocating consulships within each year. This pattern had been established by August in 5 B.C. In those years in which an ordinarius left office before the end of the year, he did so at the end of June and was replaced by a suffectus on the first day of July who remained in office for the remainder of the year. However since the year 37 saw the beginning of a new reign, the change is not difficult to explain. It is also noteworthy that Gaius and his uncle Claudius took office for only two months and then allowed A. Caecina Paetus and C. Caninius Rebilus to assume the consulships for which they had been designated. The year 38 shows a return to the regular pattern.
