AE 1941, 00071 ; CIL 06, 30982
Royden 1988: 14-148, no. 152; Pearse 1975: 113
Magister quinquennalis of the collegium fabrum tignuariorum in Rome. One of his slaves (whose name is lost on the inscription) , was minister (CIL 06, 30982)
His Greek cognomen indicates a possible freedman. Pearse suggested he was a freedman of Livia, based on the rare combination M. Iulius. Livia assumed the nomen Iulia after her testamentary adoption by Augustus in 14 CE. He freedmen henceforth took the nomen Iulius, but the praenomen Marcus, after Livia's biological father M. Livius Drusus (Weaver 1972: 28-29, 63). But Royden 1988 righly notes that Amphio must have been freed before 2 BCE, the date when he became magister quinquennalis, long before Livia took the name Iulia.
