Agrippa’s First Letter in Context (Jos. Vita 365)
Josephus quotes a letter of Agrippa II at Vita 365 as proof of the superiority of his account of the Judean revolt as presented in the Bellum Judaicum to that of his rival, Justus of Tiberias. The article considers how Josephus has crafted the argument in preparation for this letter. Some have noted a similarity of language between Agrippa’s letter and Josephus’ preparatory text and raised the question of authenticity. There are, however, also di…
Archival Dockets in Greek Inscriptions
In addition to the documents that they disseminate, inscriptions sometimes contain artefacts of archival processes or “dockets”. Some three dozen examples are collected in the Catalogue, almost all of which accompany documents that originate outside the city where they are displayed. The article discusses what dockets imply about civic archives and what motivated their inclusion
An Embedded Fragment in Josephus' Caesarian Acta (Aj 14.196-212)
The origins, presentation, and organization of a series of Caesarian decisions regarding Jews that are quoted by Josephus in AJ 14.196-212 have long puzzled scholars. This article argues that they were earlier decisions quoted in a later senate decree, probably of 11 April 44 b.c

Diplomats and Diplomacy in the Roman World
The Roman world was fundamentally a face-to-face culture, where it was expected that communication and negotiations would be done in person. This can be seen in Rome’s contacts with other cities, states, and kingdoms — whether dependent, independent, friendly or hostile — and in the development of a diplomatic habit with its own rhythms and protocols that coalesced into a self-sustaining system of communication. This volume of papers offers ten p…
L. Calpurnius Piso, Moles son of Moles, and emperor worship
In the course of the late Alan Hall's survey of Oinoanda, a Graeco-Roman city of northern Lycia, between 1974 and 1983, further survey work at the site led by Stephen Mitchell in 1994 and excavations in 1997 led by the Director of Fethiye Museum, İbrahim Malkoç, and Martin Ferguson Smith, many architectural, historical and epigraphical questions have been answered or at least clarified. Other questions, however, await further fieldwork, to be car…
Roman Patrons of Greek Cities
Roman Patrons of Greek Cities (Oxford Classical Monographs)
Claude Eilers examines the literary and epigraphic evidence for the practice which enabled Romans to become patrons of Greek cities during the period of the late Republic and early Principate.
Becoming a Client
This chapter examines what forms personal patronage took in Rome and how patronage of cities relates to them. Personal patronage in Rome can be divided into two categories — patronage of freedmen and patronage of free clients — and there were important differences between these relationships. Prominent Romans could become patrons of cities in several ways. First, they could be asked, as the inscription from Aphrodisias shows. Second, they could b…
The Appearance of Patrons in the Greek East
This chapter argues that there is no simple explanation for the introduction of Roman patronage in the Greek East. The causes (or, better, catalysts) that brought about its appearance may have ceased to be relevant. Patronage potentially offered significant benefits and no disadvantages. Once one city had patrons, it would be natural for others to follow its lead and co-opt patrons of its own. Presumably there were other factors contributing to t…
Conclusions and Implications
This chapter presents some concluding thoughts from the author. It argues that that in Roman society, patronage was a specific kind of relationship. It was not a cultural universal, nor an ideology, nor a kind of interaction that by definition exists in all cultures and at all times. It was a kind of relationship: a context that gives meaning to such interaction. The emperor as patron and the empire as patronage are discussed.
The Decline of Patronage
This chapter shows that during the late Republic patrocinium of cities flourished because it was a mutually beneficial relationship. It was advantageous for a provincial city to have a senatorial patron in Rome to defend its interests before his peers. The senator also benefited: having distant cities in his clientele, and being seen to defend their interests and to exercise influence in their favour, increased his prestige before his peers and t…

A Patron of Myra in Ephesus
1980, M. Buyukkolanei, C. Icten and J. Nolle published the following inscription, which was discovered in Selcuk
Silanus 〈and〉 Murena ( I.Priene 121)
An inscription from Priene, first published at the beginning of this century, honours a local citizen who had among other accomplishments conducted a series of embassies to Roman officials in Asia. The text was originally published by Hiller von Gaertringen, though (as we shall see) his interpretation of it was unsatisfactory in at least one respect
Q. Mucius Scaevola and Oenoanda
The following inscription was found at Oenoanda, an antique city in north Lycia, by the late Alan S. Hall in 1974. The text (inv. no. YÇ 1014) is inscribed on the short face of a large grey limestone statue base, found lying on its left side at the northern margin of the Upper Agora (the “Esplanade”), directly before the outer edge of the portico of the north stoa (cf. Figs. 1 and 2). Its position suggests that it has fallen forward, with other b…
