Albi'nus

12. Sp. Postumius Albinus, L. F. A. N., was praetor peregrinus in B. C. 189 (Liv. 37.47, 50), and consul in 186. In his consulship the senatusconsultum was passed, which is still extant, suppressing the worship of Bacchus in Rome, in consequence of the abominable crimes which were committed in connexion with it. (39.6, 11, &c.; V. Max. 6.3.7; Plin. Nat. 33.10; Dict. of Ant. p. 344.) He was also augur, and died in 179 at an advanced age. (Liv 40.42; Cic. Cato, 3.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
