ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ELEIA

Remarks: There are several attempts to identify the legate of this inscription. A possibility is
*286. [ΝΕΜΙΕΣΙΑΝΟΣ
to identify him with Mummius Achaicus, brother of Mummia Achaica, mother of the
Emperor Galba (F. Münzer, RE XVI 1 [1933] 533-534, s.v. Mummius [26]; FOS,
458, no. 556) and another with the legate of the Athenian inscription IG II/III 2 4170
(F. Münzer, Ν. Jahr. f. d. kl. Alt. 12, 1909, 190, 3 identifies him with Sp. Mummius,
brother of the consul 146 B.C.); see also F. Münzer, RE XVI 1 (1933) 523-524, 5. v.
Mummius [3] and M. Fluss, ibid., 524, s.v. Mummius [4]; Groag, Reichsbeamten, 99-
100; PIR 1 M 701.

of his high social status, see EL 192. For the person see also Zoumbaki, Elis und
