ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
Remarks: For the cognomen Urbanus see ACH 75 (C. Clodius Urbanus). The Aemilii of
Patrai may have been related to the Aemilii from Kleitor attested in Olympia (IvO
473-474; cf. EL 10 [1A] and [IB]).
s. of Aemilia Erotis (ACH 4) and b. of Aemilia Secunda (ACH 5)
12. t [.] AENI(US) SECUNDUS T(ITI) F(ILIUS)
CIL III, 525; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 135 [lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a stone bearing the funerary inscription of the family of Turpilii, perhaps forged
(Mommsen):
T(itus) Turpili(us) Aug(ur) sibi et Manli(us) T(iti) f(ilius), Aeni(us) I Secundus T(iti) f(ilius),
Agele f(ilia) Vallia p(ecunia) s(ua) et iu(ssu) I Turpiliae Nice f(ilia) lib(ertis) libertab(us) suis
poster(isque) I et Turpiliae Nymphae et libertis posteris. I 5 H(oc) m(onumentum) h(eredem)
n(on) s(equetur).
Remarks: For a general comment see ACH 233 (T. Turpilius). Aenius is quite a rare
gentilicium, cf. Schulze, 11; it is also known from Corinth in the mid-2nd c. A.D., (cf.
COR 23 and 24).
s. of Titus Turpilius Augur (?) (ACH 233), b. of Manlius s. of Titus (ACH 156), Agele Vallia
(ACH 236) and Turpilia Nice (ACH 231); perhaps also b. of Turpilia Nympha (ACH 232)
13. AEPICIA NICE
CIL III, 519; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 85 [lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a marble funerary altar or pedestal for the named person and L. Curtius Onesiphorus:
L(ucius) Curtius I Onesiphorus,I Aepicia Nice.
Remarks: Mommsen, CIL III 519: Aicia. Both names are very rare; for references see
Rizakis, op. cit.
14. AEQU[- - -]
I. Papapostolou, AE 1983, 32; id., Dodone 15.1, 1986, 265; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 208
[lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai, found in 80, Ermou Street; a fragment of a mutilated funerary marble plaque:
vac. Va [- - -] I v(ivus vel -iva) · Aequ [—].
Remarks: The nomen is to be restored either as Aequ[anus] or as Aequ[ana]. This gravestone
comes from the excavations of the mausoleum of the family of the Aequani, just as
the funerary epigram of Sex(tus) Aequanus Sex(ti) l(ibertus) Astius (ACH 19), a
freedman of this family.
