en-wikipedia-org-2298		Alexander of Abonoteichus - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2103	197	63	170 CE), was a Greek mystic and oracle, and the founder of the Glycon cult that briefly achieved wide popularity in the Roman world. The vivid narrative of his career given by Lucian might be taken as fictitious but for the corroboration of certain coins of the emperors Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius[1] and of a statue of Alexander, said by Athenagoras to have stood in the forum of Parium.[2][3] There is further evidence from inscriptions.[4] Suspicious too is that this account was written only years later after the deaths of both Alexander and his most powerful patron the leading Roman senator Rutilianus. ^ Lucian, Alexander the False Prophet, ch.
