[1] Μ. Pierart-JT. Thalmann, BCH Suppl. 6, 1980, 275-8, no. 6, fig. 11 (SEG 30, 1980, 365)
[146 B.C.].
Argos, reused as a drain cover NE of the classical stoa; a statue base erected in honour of L.
Mummius by the demos of Argos:
[Ό όή]μος [τών 'Αργεί]Ιων Λ[ε]ύκι[ον Μόμμιον] Ι Λευκίου σ[τρατηγόν] Ι ΰπατον Τ[ωμαίων].
[2] IG IV 1180-1183; IG IV 2
1, 306 D; Peek, 1972, 30-31, no. 47 (BullÉpigr 1973, 190) [146/5
B.C.].
Epidauros, sanctuary; the upper part of a base bearing older inscriptions (see Peek 1969, 72-
73, no. 129). On the same stone there is a dedication of L. Mummius to Apollo, Asclepius and
Hygeia:
Λεύκιος Μόμμιος Λευκίου Ι στρατηγός ύπατος Τωμαίων Ι "Απόλλωνι, Άσκληπιώι, Ύγείαι.
Remarks: L. Pietilä-Castren, Arcfo5 25, 1991, 102-103 (SEG 41, 1991, 286) suggests that the
equestrian statue on the base [1] in honour of L. Mummius was erected before the
arbitration about the Nemean games recorded in an inscription from Nemea, see
D.W. Bradeen, Hesperia 35, 1966, 326-329, pi. 78 (SEG 23, 1968, 180), in an
attempt to influence the opinion of this official in favor of Argos. On [1] see the
mention of the text by D. Knoepfler, "L. Mummius Achaicus et les cités du golfe
euboïque: à propos d'une nouvelle inscription d'Erétrie", MHAS, 1991,262. There
is also an unpublished letter of L. Mummius to the technitai of Dionysos, which is to
be published by Ch. Kritzas, cited by J.-L. Ferrary, Philhellénisme et impérialisme:
aspects idéologiques de la conquête romaine du monde hellénistique, de la seconde
guerre de Macédoine à la guerre contre Mithridate (Rome 1988) 521, n. 58 and
Knoepfler, op. cit., 262, n. 52.
For Mummius in other Peloponnesian cities see also EL 284, ARC 124.
