 Cassius Dio & Ulpian
In fact, the overall impression gained from the literary sources is that Alexander himself shouldered the responsibilities of direct imperial rule, in the tradition of the great emperors of the past, from Augustus to Septimius Severus.
Alexander became emperor immediately after him [Elagabalus], and entrusted to one Domitius Ulpian the command of the Praetorians and the other business of the empire (Dio, 80.1.1).
Ulpian corrected many of the irregularities introduced by Sardanapalus [Elagabalus]; but after putting to death Flavianus and Chrestus, that he might succeed them, he was himself slain ere long by the Praetorians, who attacked him in the night (Dio, 80.2.2).

However, in the literary world, epigrams were most often gifts to patrons or entertaining verse to be published, not inscriptions.
Many Roman writers seem to have composed epigrams, including Domitius Marsus, whose collection 'Cicuta' (now lost) was named after the poisonous hemlock tree for its biting wit, and Lucan, more famous for his epic Pharsalia.
Authors whose epigrams survive include Catullus, who wrote both invectives and love epigrams -- his poem 85 is one of the latter.

Domitius Afer showed remarkable finish in this department; for, while narratives of the kind I have described are frequent in his speeches, several books have been published of his witticisms as well.
But, in my opinion, there are certain forms of humorous saying that may be regarded as not possessing sufficient urbanity.
108 However, out of respect for the judgment of Marsus, who was a man of the greatest learning, I will add that he divides serious utterances into three classes, the honorific, the derogatory and the intermediate.

BOOK VI, A.D. CNEIUS Domitius and Camillus Scribonianus had entered on the consulship when the emperor, after crossing the channel which divides Capreae from Surrentum, sailed along Campania, in doubt whether he should enter Rome, or, possibly, simulating the intention of going thither, because he had resolved otherwise.
