Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus (grandson of Herodes Atticus)
Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus [1][2] (born 161 [3]-?) was a Roman noble of Greek Athenian and Italian Roman descent who lived in the Roman Empire.
Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus was the son born to the Aristocrat Lucius Vibullius Rufus and the noblewoman Athenais.[1][2] He had an elder paternal half brother called Lucius Vibullius Claudius Herodes.[2] The parents of Hipparchus were paternal second cousins.[1][2] The paternal grandfather of Hipparchus was Publius Aelius Vibullius Rufus who served as an Archon of Athens in 143-144 AD,[1] while his maternal grandparents were Roman Senator, Sophist Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes or Herodes Atticus and the Roman aristocratic noblewoman Aspasia Annia Regilla.[4] His grandfathers were first cousins as the mother of Herodes Atticus and the father of Publius Aelius Vibullius Rufus were brother and sister.[1] Through his late maternal grandmother, Hipparchus was a relative to the family of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and the Roman Empress Faustina the Elder.[5]
When Hipparchus was born, Athenais named him in honor of his maternal grandfather and paternal great grandfather. Shortly after his birth Athenais had died.[2]
Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus is the only recorded grandchild of Herodes Atticus and Aspasia Annia Regilla.[2] He had a daughter called Athenais.[1]
