M(arcus) Lollius I Epinicus I aed(ilis) vovit I Ilvir I 5 dec(urionum) decr(eto) I Statae Matr(i) I de
sua pecun(ia) I posuit I sacrum.
aed(ilis), Ilvir
Remarks: He could be a libertus of M. Lollius, a person of the circle of Augustus (probably
proconsul of Macedonia in 19 or 17 B.C.), who played an important role in Augustan
propaganda in Greece, see E. Groag, RE XIII. 2 (1927) 1377 - 1387, 5. v. M. Lollius
[11]; G. Bowersock, "Augustus and the East: the problem of the succession", in: F.
Millar-Ε. Segal (eds), Caesar Augustus: seven aspects (Oxford 1984) 169-188; R.
Syme, The Augustan aristocracy (Oxford 1986) passim.
148. T(ITUS) LOLLIUS SPINTHARUS
CIL III, 6096; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 9 [lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a marble altar, now lost, dedicated by the person to Ceres mater:
I(n) h(onorem) d(omus) d(ivinae) I Cereri I matri I T(itus) Lollius I 5 Spintharus I d(e) s(uo)
p(osuit).
149. [- ca. 8 -]S LUPUS
ILGR 64; *Rizakis, Achaie II, no. 134 [3rd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a marble plaque bearing the Latin funerary inscription of [- ca. 8-]s Lupus and his
family. Under the Latin text there is a Greek, probably posterior, funerary inscription:
[-ca. 8-]s Lupus I vac. [sibi] et suis vac. I [-ca. 5-Ε]ύοδία έτων 11 vac. [μ]ηνών Η vac.
*150. MAEC[---]
Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 42 [lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a fragment of a marble plinthe of a statue bearing a fragmentary Latin inscription:
[- - -]MAEC[- --] ΙΓ-- -]BVNI[- - -]l[- - -].
Remarks: We do not know whether the [tri]bun[o] (pro [tri]buni in Achaie II) in 1. 3 marks the
beginning of a senatorial career of a person whose name is partially preserved on
the first line, or something else; although the first solution is highly speculative we
can imagine in 1. 1 the restoration [M.] Maec[ilio Rufo]; the person was proconsul
of Achaia before the reign of Nero and was honoured with a statue at Olympia (7vO
334); for him see also *EL 257. Otherwise, we should have here an unknown
Maecius, member of a family well known in the colony of Corinth.
