His The declamations of Calpurnius Flaccus, 1994: CIP author page (the manuscript ascribes this collection to a Calpurnius Flaccus

Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 153: "Flaccus, Calpurnius,a rhetorician who was living at the time of Hadrian, and whose fifty-one declamations frequently accompany those of Quintilian..."
Brill's New Pauly: "C. Flaccus, Latin rhetor, around 100 AD, Latin rhetor c. AD 100, perhaps a member of the circle around Pliny and Quintilian [1. 6]. The smallest of the four collections of declamationes, which is extant under his name, contains -- for educational purposes -- the highlights of fifty-three controversiae. Despite their fantastic scenarios common to declamations (tyrants, poisoning), his topics appear closely related to Roman jurisdiction...." Walde, Christine (Basel). "Calpurnius." Brill's New Pauly.
