person
Damasippus
also: Damasippus
A Roman art-dealer and connoisseur active in the 40s BC, through whom the statues Gallus bought for Cicero (Fam. 7.23) were to pass; Cicero coins 'Pseudodamasippus' for any rival dealer. Plausibly the Damasippus whose bankruptcy and turn to Stoic philosophy Horace mocks in Satires 2.3.
