Nevertheless, in 92 the same office went to a اليونان، Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, who belonged to a family of priests of Rome hailing from سارد؛ entering the Senate under فسبازيان, he was subsequently to be appointed proconsul of Asia under تراجان, possibly in 105/6.

...statues (lost except for their bases) were probably of Celsus, consul in A.D. 92, and his son Aquila, consul in A.D. 110. A cuirass statue stood in the central niche of the upper storey.
