Herodes ____ was an Ancient Greek rhetorician who also became a Roman senator and consul (7)

I believe the answer is:
atticus
(Other definitions for atticus that I've seen before include "Cicero wrote him many letters" , "Correspondent of Cicero" , "Friend of 1 across - forename of 4 across in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
