1. M';. ACILIUS AVIOLA, consul suffectus in B. C. 33, from the 1st of July, is probably the same Aviola who is said to have come to life again on the funeral pile, when it was supposed that he was dead, but to have been nevertheless burnt to death, because the flames could not be extinguished. (Plin. Nat. 7.52. s. 53; V. Max. 1.8.12.)
