 The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 14: Lives of the Poets eBook
Fulvius Nobilior and M. Acilius Glabrio, A.U.C. [929] St. Jerom also states that Terence read the “Andria” to Caecilius who was a comic poet at Rome; but it is clearly an anachronism, as he died two years before this period.
It is proposed, therefore, to amend the text by substituting Acilius, the aedile; a correction recommended by all the circumstances, and approved by Pitiscus and Ernesti.
Fabius Labeo was consul with M. Claudius Marcellus, A.U.C. 570 and Popilius with L. Postumius Albinus, A.U.C. [940] The story of Terence’s having converted into Latin plays this large number of Menander’s Greek comedies, is beyond all probability, considering the age at which he died, and other circumstances.

Among the broken inscriptions of many members of this noble family one finds the names of Acilius Glabrio and of Priscilla.
The existence of this elaborately decorated burial-place containing a large number of sarcophagi seems to point to M’ Acilius Glabrio, the Consul of 91 A.D. who was accused of ‘atheism and Jewish manners’ and put to death by Domitian, having been a Christian.
It has been conjectured therefore that the Priscilla after whom the cemetery is named, and who must have been the owner of the property beneath which the excavations were made (property which was part of the extensive possessions of the Acilii Glabriones) was a near relative—aunt or sister—of the victim of Domitian.

I have suggested at the close of the last lecture that Clement the Bishop was a younger brother of M. Arrecinus Clemens the consul.
While he was consul in 91 A.D. as the colleague of M. Ulpius Trajanus, the future emperor, he appears to 236have excited the suspicion and dislike of Domitian, who in order to humiliate and degrade him compelled Glabrio to fight with wild beasts in the amphitheatre adjoining the imperial villa at Albanum.
Suetonius likewise states that Acilius Glabrio in his place of exile and several others of senatorial and consular rank were executed as ‘instigators of novelties’—molitores rerum novarum.
