Lucius Vipstanus Messalla (consul)

Lucius Vipstanus Messalla was a Roman Senator who was consul ordinarius in AD 115 with Marcus Pedo Vergilianus as his colleague. Vergilianus was killed in an earthquake at the end of January and was replaced by Titus Statilius Maximus Severus Hadrianus, who completed the nundinium with Messalla.[1]

Ronald Syme states that Vipstanus Messalla was the son of Lucius Vipstanus Messalla.[2] The younger Messalla had a son named Lucius Vipstanus Poplicola Messalla.[3]

It would be an interesting non lethal bio weapon that could incapacitate enemy forces in a few hoursIt seems like it's getting cheaper and easier for people to genetically engineer bacteria and stuff, so I worry that within a few decades it will be easy enough that people will just do this sort of thing for funlolz.

gollark: Talking about where to get them might be, or at least might cause them to complain.
gollark: Based on advanced "ctrl+F" technology, there's nothing specifically about drugs or whatever (would be weird if there was) but just "no doing illegal things". *Talking* about drugs is not illegal.
