He was consul ordinarius in AD 54 with Marcus Asinius Marcellus as his colleague.
[1] According to Brian Jones, Aviola was also curator aquarum (or "superintendent of the aqueducts") from 74 to 97.
[1] Assuming that he became consul anno suo, he would have been born around AD 22, making this relationship more likely.
He is known to have lived into Domitian's reign, and that he married Aedia Servilia, the daughter or niece of Marcus Servilius Nonianus (consul AD 35).
[3] Older authorities, such as Edmund Groag, have identified Aviola with the Avilius mentioned by Juvenal,[4] but Gallivan has argued that the two are different people.
