ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ELEIA
142-143
Remarks: He is perhaps to be identified with the sophist Aristocles from Pergamon
(Philostr., VS II, 3). He could be identified with the consul suffectus during the last
years of the reign of M. Aurelius or under Commodus; see MDA/(A) 32, 1907, 324,
no. 52; PIR 2 C 789; G.W. Bowersock, Greek sophists in the Roman empire (Oxford
1969) 19. 22; G. Alföldy, Konsulat und Senatorenstand unter den Antoninen.
Prosopographische Untersuchungen zur senatorischen Führungsschicht (Bonn 1977)
202, 322; Halfmann, Senatoren, no. 121. Degrassi, Fasti consolari, 117 dates his
consulate under Septimius Severus, which is not accepted by most scholars.

Remarks: Cf. also Zoumbaki, Elis und Olympia, Κ 55 and for his family A 99. The person was

Olympia; a statue base of Pentelic marble from the exedra of Herodes Atticus erected by the
polis of Elis for Herodes' mother, Vibullia Alcia Agrippina:

Olympia, Nymphaeum of Herodes Atticus; several fragments, which according to R. Bol and
L. Schumacher (contribution in Bol, Herodes- Atticus-Nymphäum) are derived from the base
of a statue for the person. The fragment IvO 622b ascribed by Dittenberger and Purgold to this
base is regarded as a fragment that has nothing to do with the inscription discussed here. His
