Ἁδριανὸς ἀνέθηκε
An intriguing inscription bearing the words Ἁδριανὸς ἀνέθηκε (Hadrian dedicated) appears in Inscriptiones Graecae (IG) and is the only example in the Greek world of this specific formula. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the inscription has been misattributed to an island, but our research reveals that it originated from a village near Tegea in Arcadia. Ancient literary sources and epigraphy confirm Hadrian's active presence in Arcadia, where he…
Romans at Besa
This article presents an overview of Roman citizens registered in the small Attic deme of Besa. The epigraphic record indicates that three Roman emperors—Hadrian, Commodus and Severus Alexander—were enrolled as citizens in this deme, as was the influential eastern magnate G. Julius Antiochus Epiphanes Philopappos and several men who dominated Athenian politics during the High Imperial period. We argue that Hadrian's enrolment and repeated sojourn…
“The City of Hadrian and not of Theseus”
Hadrian’s Arch (also known as Hadrian’s Gate) is one of the most iconic and accessible antique monuments in modern Athens. Built in the 2nd century CE by the Athenians in honor of Hadrian, the landmark contains two inscriptions that appear to equate the emperor with the city’s legendary founder, Theseus. By the time the arch was dedicated in c. 131 CE, Hadrian had been an Athenian citizen for two decades and I argue that, by dedicating the arch t…
The Province of Achaea in the 2nd Century CE
Insularity and Imperial Politics
Since its conquest by Rome in the 2nd century BCE, Roman notables were a constant presence in Greece. While various sites on the mainland served as battlegrounds for Roman civil wars during the 1st century BCE (e.g., Pharsalus, Actium, Philippi), the early imperial period was characterized by the use of various Greek islands as places of – often self-imposed – exile and/or isolation for such notables as M. Vipsanius Agrippa (Lesbos) and Tiberius …
Selective Memory and the Legacy of Archaeological Figures in Contemporary Athens
The legacy of antiquity has loomed large over the Greek capital since thefoundation of the modern Greek state. Archaeologists have served as the main catalysts in the country’s endeavour to connect antiquity and modernity. Thus, the legacy of deceased archaeologists is tangible in many parts of Athens and a reminder of the significance of archaeology as a discipline in modern Greece. This article examines how the memory ofHeinrich Schliemann and …

Roman Crete
From Pella to Gandhara
Alexander the Great's campaigns in the East brought the Greek and Eastern worlds in closer contact than was possible in previous centuries. While Greeks and non-Greeks had lived alongside each other for centuries before Alexander's conquest of the East, it was during the Hellenistic period that a more direct interaction of cultures occurred. The material evidence from the lands that formed part of Alexander's empire, in combination with contempor…
