Acestor
(*)Ake/stwr), a sculptor mentioned by Pausanias (6.17.2) as having executed a statue of Alexibius, a native of Heraea in Arcadia, who had gained a victory in the pentathlon at the Olympic games.
He was born at Cnossus, or at any rate exercised his profession there for some tine. (Paus. 10.15.4.)
He had a son named Amphion, who was also a sculptor, and had studied under Ptolichus of Corcyra (Paus. 6.3.2); so that Acestor must have been a contemporary of the latter, who flourished about Ol. 82. (B. C. 452.) [C.P.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), or Se'xtius Vaticanus (search)
Capitoli'nus, P. Se'xtius or Se'xtius Vaticanus
surnamed VATICANUS, was consul in B. C. 452 with T. Menenius Agrippa.
In this year the ambassadors who had been sent to Athens for the purpose of consulting its laws and institutions, returned to Rome, and in the year following P. Sextius was one of the decemvirs appointed to draw up a new code of laws. Festus (s. v. peculates) mentions a lex multaticia which was carried by P. Sextius and his colleague during their consulship. (Liv. 3.32, &c.; Dionys. A. R. 10.54.) [L.S]
Lana'tus
3. T. MENENIUS AGRIPPAE F. AGRIPPAE N. LANATUS, called by Livy Titus, and by Dionysius Lucius, but by the other authorities Tilus, was consul with P. Sestius Capitolinus Vaticanus, B. C. 452, the year before the first decenlvirate. (Liv. 3.32; Dionys. A. R. 10.54; Diod. 12.22.)
It appears from Festus (s. v. peculatus) that the consuls of this year had something to do with the lex Aternia Tarpeia, which had been passed two years previously, but the passage in Festus, as it stands at present, is not intelligible.

Se'stia Gens
originally patrician, afterwards plebeian also.
This name is frequently confounded with that of Sextius, and the two names may originally have been the same; but the ancient writers evidently regard them as two distinct names, and they are accordingly so given in this work [SEXTIA GENS].
The only member of the gens who obtained the consulship under the republic, was P. Sestius Capitolinus Vaticanus in B. C. 452, who was also decemvir in the next year ; and no other person of this name appears on the consular Fasti except L. Sestius, who was consul suffectus in B. C. 23. Coins of the Sestia gene are extant, of which some specimens are given below.
Se'stius
1. P. SESTIUS CAPITOLINUS VATICANUS. consul B. C. 452, is spoken of under CAPITOLINUS [Vol. I. p. 606a.], where he is erroneously called Sextilius.
Vatica'nus
an agnomen of T. Romilius Rocus, consul B. C. 455, and a member of the first decemvirate [ROMILIUS], and also of P. Sextius Capitolinus, consul B. C. 452, and likewise a member of the first decemvirate. [CAPITOLINUS, p. 606a.]
