Book V of Caesar's Gallic Wars begins
"L. Domitio Ap.Claudio consulibus, ....."
This is translated in the Loeb Classical Library as
"Lucius Domitio and Appius Claudius were still consuls....
when Caesar, on the eve of his departure....."
I am wondering how does one best classify this
particular ablative? e.g.
"consulibus is an ablative of description"
would seem to work. So would several others.
