===Early life=== Albinus was born in [[Hadrumetum]], [[Africa Province]] ([[Sousse]], [[Tunisia]]) to an aristocratic Roman family. The unreliable ''[[Historia Augusta]]'' claims his parents' names were Aurelia Messallina and Ceionius Postumus, along with other relatives mentioned in ''Vita Albini''. None of these names are considered likely to be accurate by modern historians.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Bonner Historia-Augusta-Colloquium|publisher=R. Habelt Verlag.|year=1970|isbn=9783774910980|pages=54|language=En|volume=7}}</ref> The text also claims that Clodius received the [[cognomen]] Albinus because of the extraordinary whiteness of his complexion.<ref name="cap">[[Capitolinus]], ''Clodius Albinus'' 4-10</ref>
