Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 16, 53 (Great Russian Encyclopaedia (digital version); Ulpii; World History Encyclopedia; Catholic Encyclopedia; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Spanish Biographical Dictionary; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia) or September 13, 53 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
