Bad mixing problem
Two Attici Herodes are being confused, both quite famous men, which is understandable, because due to Roman naming conventions of the times they have nearly the same name. One is the father and the other the son. This article was intended to be the father. The son, Herodes Atticus, is probably better known. He's the one that built the nymphaeum at Olympia. The father was the consul suffectus, 133. They were both contemporaneouly alive for quite a long time, as the father took a strong hand in guiding the son. There is some wife/mother confusion as well. Herodes Atticus' picture appears in both articles, but for the father there is available only the headless statue from the nymphaeum. So, this article needs a careful scrutiny, including the sources, which may also use the same name for different people. There is a good Phd thesis by Rutledge 1960 that straightens it all out, cited under Palaestra at Olympia. I'm going to look for a tag that covers this confusion, but if I don't find one that is what is "wrong with this picture." Can't guarantee to get to it soon.Botteville (talk) 10:55, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

"it is yours"
Where does Day cite to for this? It is in Gibbon but neither does he give a citation. The citation he gives refers to Hadrian, not Nerva, and to the unreliable Historia Augusta. So where did Day get it? 100.15.127.199 (talk) 15:09, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
