This chapter highlights the strikingly undynamic, almost atrophied, picture that emerges from the epigraphical evidence, which is unusually monochrome: a picture of endless funerary or honorific commemorations for Rhodians. According to a now traditional designation introduced by Peter Fraser and George Bean in The Rhodian Peraea and Islands, Rhodian territorial possessions on the mainland fell into two parts: the &s;incorporated&s; and the &s;subject&s; Peraia. The extent and chronology of Rhodian domination in this region are slowly becoming better understood as more evidence comes to light, though much is still unclear. Many of the inscriptions are in fact of a funerary nature, whether private or public. In their architectural form and in their manner of commemoration they are recognizably &s;Rhodian&s;: square bases for round funerary altars; a type that has been well described by P. Fraser in Rhodian Funerary Monuments. Two similar cases of integration of Rhodians come from the koinon of the Leukoideis.
