Lucius Vibullius Rufus
Lucius Vibullius Rufus sometimes known as Vibullius Rufus.[1] (Greek: Λούκιος Βιβούλιος Ρούφος) was a Greek Aristocrat that lived in the second half of the 1st century and the first half of the 2nd century in the Roman Empire
Rufus was a Greek of Athenian descent.[2] Although little is known on his origins, Rufus was a member of a very wealthy family who were prominent in Athens.[1] Rufus had an ancestor called Lucius Vibullius Rufus, who served as an officer to triumvir Pompey in the civil war against Julius Caesar during the Roman Republic.[3][unreliable source?]
Rufus married an Athenian Aristocrat called Claudia Alcia.[4] Claudia Alcia was the daughter of Hipparchus, an Athenian aristocrat, and sister of Roman Senator Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes.[1][4]
Claudia Alcia bore Rufus two children who were:
- Son, Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus[4] who served as Archon of Athens in 99-100[5]
- Daughter, Vibullia Alcia Agrippina,[1][4] who married her uncle Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes[1][4][6]
