This paper, which is in two parts, re-employs published evidence to shed new light on the Spartan senator C. Iulius Eurycles Herculanus L. Vibullius Pius. The first part presents a re-edition of the dedication from the heröon of Herculanus, the improved text revealing evidence for a link of kinship between the later Euryclids of Sparta and the dynasty of Commagene. The second part restudies two inscriptions from Mantineia and Corinth which, it is proposed, were originally part of posthumous memorials to Herculanus erected in those two cities.
