 He contributed a gift to Piraeus which was commemorated and in 209 the Athenian Boule honored Atticus Bradua as "Euergetes" or Herald.An inscription found on a grey limestone dated after 185 at the Curia at Leptis Magna (the capital of the Africa Province) is possibly dedicated to Atticus Bradua.This inscription shows that Atticus Bradua may have served as a Proconsul of Africa, could have served as a local patron and may have changed his name to honor the memory of his family, mother and maternal ancestry, and to express discontent with his father.
