“Live Like a King”

This chapter proposes to read the sculptural program of the Philopappos Monument at Athens from the perspective of power and status of the Orontid’s royal house of the kingdom of Commagene. Investigations will focus on the honorand’s grandfather, Antiochus IV of Commagene, styled as a togate figure and sitting on a sella curule, and how such choice can interpret Philopappus’ career. This chapter argues that the monumental façade of the Commagenian king Philopappus defines the concept of client-kingship as a non-territorial Roman institution. Client-kings and their members were a class of their own within the Roman political hierarchy, and served bureaucratic functions
