It is shown that the attestation of the principate of Ap. Claudius Pulcher (Cos. 143) is due to the alchemistic procedure of ancient writers. Other ostensible facts about Appius are also examined: a supposed testimonium for his censorship, his supposedly fixed date of death, and his supposed augurate.
