Once he left the office of praetor, Crispinus then served as

legatus legionis or commander of Legio I Italica from c. 146 to c. 150.[5] Crispinus was allocated Gallia Narbonensis, which he governed in 144/145,[6] then he was given a second commission to command another legion, III Augusta, from around 146 up until his consulate, which was likely 150.[7]

Crispinus' career after his consulate is a blank; it is yet unknown how much longer he lived.
