ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ELEIA
as ευπατρίδης; see also Hesperia 44, 1975, 404). He was eponymous archon at
Athens of the year A.D. 187/8 (S. Rotroff, Hesperia 44, 1975, 407). The person was
also a consul of the year A.D. 185 (Degrassi, Fasti consolari, 51). Further on him see
E. Groag, RE III 2 (1899) 2680, s.v. Claudius [87]; PIR C 785; Halfmann,
Senatoren, no. 128; J. Oliver, EOS, 586-588 and 601 and for the whole family 585-
588; Ameling, op. cit.; FOS, 72-73 (comments on no. 56).
Oliver, op. cit., believes that there were four sons of Herodes, a Ti. Claudius Appius
Atilius Bradua Regillus Atticus (EL 167), who is to be recognised in the above
mentioned Athenian inscriptions, a second one appearing in the inscription from
Olympia, a third one named L. Vibullius Regillus Claudius Herodes attested also in
Olympia (ΙνΟ 626) and a fourth one, who died in infancy. The second son, who is
discussed here, honoured in Olympia (7v0623) passed, according to Oliver, into the
gens Atilia through adoption —perhaps by a maternal uncle of his mother, in the
family of which there was the name Atilius—, moved out of the Athenian
environment into that of Rome and is consequently to be identified with the consul
of A.D. 185 (see above) and the proconsul Africae attested in J.M. Reynolds and J.B.
Ward Perkins, The inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania (Rome-London 1952) 517; he
also proposes completing the lacuna of the text with the name Regillus instead the
Tertullus of the editors Reynolds and Perkins. So his whole name would be M. Atilius
Metilius Bra[dua] Cauci[dius Regillus Claudius At]ticus [Vibu]llius Pollio Gavidius
Latiaris Atrius Bassus. Oliver died before he could have known the new reading of
G. di Vita-Evrard, "Le proconsul d'Afrique polyonyme IRT 517: une nouvelle
tentative d'identification", MEFR 93, 1981, 183-226 who reads [ ]blicus instead
of [At]ticus (see esp. p. 208-209); W. Eck, Der neue Pauly2, 214 [Π 9].
It seems likely, that he is to be identified with 'Αττικού τοϋ Ήρώδου, attested in a
cursus honorum of his synephebos Corinthas, son of Nicephorus, from Sparta (IG V
1, 45 11. 9-10; LAC 272); this opinion is supported by Boeckh, CIG 1256; Kolbe (in
the comments of IG V 1, 45); Graindor, Atticus, 103 ns 5-6; Follet, Athènes, 134;
Halfmann, Senatoren, no. 128 [5]; A.J.S. Spawforth, ABSA 75, 1980, 208-10 (cf.
SEG 30, 1980,406); on the contrary Chrimes, Ancient Sparta, AAA no. 20; Bradford,
494 and Ameling, Herodes Atticus, I, 37-38 n. 14. II no. 70 identify him with his
father Herodes Atticus.
s. Herodes Atticus (EL 144) and Regula (EL 17); for the stemma of the family see Appendix,
Stemmata XI, 1.2. 3.
