Polybius on Leadership (on N. Miltsios, Leadership and Leaders in Polybius)
The Beginning and End of Appian's Mithridateios
This article deals with the structure of Appian's Mithridateios . All the manuscripts begin with two chapters (now numbered 118 and 119) that, in his 1785 edition of Appian, Johannes Schweighäuser argued could not represent the opening of the work: a folio had been removed from its proper place towards the end of the work and mistakenly placed at the beginning. All editors followed Schweighäuser until recently, when there has been a tendency to a…

Richard D. Sullivan offers a guide to the central role of royalty during this period. He provides, through narrative and citations, a context for the frequent references to Eastern kings and queens by Caesar, Cicero, Strabo, Josephus, Ta…
Melitian Monks at Labia
In 1890 A. H. Sayce published two tine Byzantine documents dceds of, apparently,the sale of two Melitian monasteries at Ar inoe (Sayce 1890, 131 - 144). He said thatthey had been found the year before by Flinders Petrie at Hawara, just a few miles fromArsinoe, but gave no indication that there were in fact three documents
The Second and Third Wars Against Rome
Pontus to the Time of Mithridates V Euergetes
Chronology and the Royal Cappadocian Coins
The Date of the Outbreak of the Third Mithridatic War
IN SPITE OF MUCH DISCUSSION ON THE SUBJECT, scholars have failed to come to any general agreement on whether the Third Mithridatic War started in the spring of 74 or of 73 B.C.' Some new observations on the matter can be made, leading to the negative conclusion that the spring of 74 is impossible. In question here is not only chronological accuracy, but also the course of events immediately before and during Mithridates Eupator's last war against…
