• Tigellius Sardus, a popular singer and flutist, was a grandson of
Cicero's friend Phamea. Cicero describes the two of them as a pair of worthless "Sardinians for sale" in a letter written to his friend, Marcus Fadius Gallus, in 45 BC. He should perhaps be distinguished from the singing teacher and would-be satirist. • Marcus Tigellius Hermogenes, a singing teacher who fancied himself a talented writer, but whose lack of skill was readily apparent. He became a vehement critic of his contemporary,
Horace,
whose satires were a particular object of Hermogenes' ire. He might be the same person as the singer Tigellius Sardus, mentioned by
Cicero, but in some instances, Horace refers to "Tigellius", and in others "Hermogenes", as though distinguishing them. • Tigellia Restuta, buried in a second-century tomb at Rome, built by her son, Marcus Tigellius Restutus. • Marcus Tigellius Restutus, dedicated a second-century tomb at Rome for his mother, Tigellia Restuta. ==See also==
