An Inscription from Chios
This chapter examines the inscription discovered in the ancient Greek city of Chios and what it tells about Aegean politics in the third century, as well as its implications for our understanding of Rome's involvement in the East. It presents a somewhat corrected version (the result of frequent contemplation by W. G. Forrest between 1952 and 1967 and a detailed reanalysis by P. S. Derow in 1979), along with some commentary and arguments about its…
RC 38 (Amyzon) Reconsidered
This chapter reconsiders the authorship of Royal Correspondence 38, a Hellenistic inscription found in the Karian site of Amyzon. RC 38 is a letter to the Amyzonians first published by F. H. Marshall, who also drew attention to the fragment copied by W. R. Hamilton at Amyzon and published by Leake. This chapter also examines A. Wilhelm's commentary on the historical context, the take-over of Karia by Antiochos III in 203 bc, as well as the possib…

Rome, the fall of Macedon and the sack of Corinth
The Greeks found in Rome a master such as Philip had never come near to being, stronger and more deleterious. The Boeotians, fearful of effecting a rupture in their friendly relations with Macedon, declined and sent an embassy to Rome, where Zeuxippus represented himself. It is as early as 175 that Livy can say anxiety about the Macedonian war beset them. In the previous year embassies had arrived at Rome from the Dardani complaining of attacks b…
An Inscription from Chios
In 1951 the late N. M. Kontoleon carried out a small excavation beside the church of Agioi Anargyroi, some 200 yards west of the main square of modern Chios town. In the wall of an undated tomb linked physically but not chronologically with an also undated basilica he discovered an inscription which, with his usual generosity, he allowed W. G. F. to copy, squeeze, and photograph in 1952. Unfortunately Kontoleon did not find time to give more than…
Polybius, Rome, and the East
Sixteen years ago, in an article entitled ‘Polybius and Rome's eastern policy,’ F. W. Walbank raised and examined aspects of what seemed to be an absolutely central flaw in the fabric of Polybius’ account of Roman expansion in the Greek world. The situation that he saw both then and a decade later in his Sather Lectures on Polybius may be put briefly, and I hope fairly, as follows. Polybius believed that Rome's eastern expansion came as the consc…
The Roman Calendar, 218-191 B. C
THIS ENQUIRY takes its beginning from an earlier article in Phoenix, of which it is in fact a retrogressive continuation.1 The aim there was to establish the relation of the Roman calendar to the real (or extrapolated Julian) year between 190 and 168 B.c. Here the attempt will be made to do the same for the rest of the years covered by the last two and a half surviving decades of Livy's history. In the former case the task was rendered easier by …
The Roman Calendar, 190-168 B. C
IT HAS BEEN SAID that there is not enough evidence to support a complete system of equivalents between dates in the pre-Julian Roman calendar on the one hand and dates in an extrapolated Julian calendar on the other.' There is no question that this is true for most of the history of the Republic, but it has never seemed that attempts to do this for the years covered by the last 25 of the surviving books of Livy, 218-167 B.C., were so necessarily …
