note = "Funding Information: I continue to regret that I did not know Alan Cameron very well, but his work has been a constant presence in my scholarly life since the start. We students of T. D. Barnes swiftly learned to read everything by any scholar for whom Tim showed even passing approbation, and the esteem in which he held Alan's work was far more than passing. I therefore started with Porphyrius and Circus Factions, worked back to Claudian and the great JRS articles of the 1960s, and then from Barbarians and Politics have read everything new as it appeared. It goes without saying that my own work on the late Roman aristocracy (especially Kulikowski 2017a) would have been impossible without Alan's work on the consular diptychs, the career of Basilius, and the rules of senatorial polyonymy. I wish to thank Gavin Kelly, Justin Stover, Richard Burgess and the participants of the 2019 Edinburgh Historia Augusta Colloquium for their very helpful comments on various versions of this argument.",
