ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN CORINTHIA<br />

12 (BuIIÉpigr 1966, 186; SEG23, 1968, 171) [A.D. 143-160].<br />

529-532<br />

Corinth, forum: Temple of Tyche (?); statue base of white marble; epigram in her honour.<br />

Remarks: She was the wife of the well known Athenian rhetor and sophist Tib. Claudius<br />

529. ΡΩΜΑΝΟΣ<br />

Herodes Atticus (COR 174, LAC 271, EL 17). In both epigrams she is called by her<br />

cognomen Ρήγιλλα. The inscription in [2] mentions that she was honoured with a<br />

statue assimilating her with Tyche and set up in that goddess's temple in the forum<br />

of Corinth (Ch. M. Edwards, "Tyche at Corinth", Hesperia59, 1990,529-542, pis 83-<br />

88, especially 537; see also L. Robert, REG 79,1966, 742-3=M, OMS VI [1989] 560-<br />

561). Although the language of the inscription dates the dedication of the statue<br />

during Regilla's lifetime between A.D. 143 and 160, the letter forms indicate a date<br />

at least one hundred years later, and so it has been suggested that the base should<br />

have been a replacement of an earlier one (J. H. Kent, Corinth VIII. 3, 128;<br />

Edwards, op. cit., 537, n. 44).<br />

Corinth VIII. 3, 657, pi. 54 [early 4th c. A.D.].<br />

Old Corinth; fragment of white marble; funerary inscription in his memory: Τόπος Ι Τωμανοϋ I<br />

βουλευΙτ[οϋ —] I [—].<br />

βουλευτ[ής]<br />

Remarks: The epitaph was probably a pagan one.<br />

530. CN(AEUS) [- - -] ROM[ULUS]<br />

Corinth VIII. 3, 69, pi. 7 [under Augustus (?)].<br />

Corinth, forum; two fragments of a white marble base; dedication probably to Augustus set up<br />

by him, Cn. [- - -] Pius (COR 476) and Cn. [- - -] Mosc[hus] (COR 426, text).<br />

Remarks: According to J. H. Kent, Corinth, op. cit., Pompeius is the gentilicium that fills the<br />

531. [- - -]IUS ROMU[LUS]<br />

length requirements, but the restoration is very speculative.<br />

Corinth VIII. 3, 471, pi. 38 [imperial period].<br />

Corinth, forum; three fragments of a slab of blue marble streaked with white; mutilated<br />

inscription preserving part of his name.<br />

532. ROSC[IUS]<br />

Corinth VIII. 2, 214 [imperial period].<br />

Corinth, forum; fragment of a white marble base; mutilated inscription preserving part of his name.<br />
