ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
Troizen, an honorary epigram for the person refered to as a benefactor of the polis. He must
have had a public office (cf. ...πευκαλίμοις άγανής μήδεσι [ Groag: κήδεσι] ...) and left a sum
of money to the Troizenians.
Remarks: The person is identified by some scholars with the άρχον Αχαών, perhaps meaning
proconsul, who is honoured in Athens under Theodosius I, see E. Sironen, "Life and
administration of late Roman Attica in the light of public inscriptions", in: P.
Castrén (ed.), Post-Herulian Athens. Aspects of life and culture in Athens A.D. 267-
529 (Helsinki 1994) 31, no. 15 and id., The late Roman and early Byzantine
inscriptions of Athens and Attica (Helsinki 1997) 70, no. 14 (in both works also the
previous bibliography). But this identification is difficult since there are several
256. ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΣ
persons with the name Theodorus at that time (cf. PLRE 896-901, where the person
discussed here is not included). H. Fiebiger, Inschriftensammlung zur Geschichte der
Ostgermanen, neue Folge (Denkschr. Wien, 70, 3, 1939), n. 52 identifies him with
the governor of Achaia who rescued the province from Goths in A.D. 380 and,
moreover, without a battle but with gentle negotiations; this is also the point of view
of Fraenkel in IG, Dittenberger (IG III 636), Kirchner (IG II 2 4223) and G. Welter,
Troizen und Kalaureia (Berlin 1941) 59. A. von Premerstein, Zeitschr. f. deutsches
Altertum 60, 76 and L. Robert, op. cit., accept that Theodorus had nothing to do with
the provincial government and is to be regarded rather as a wealthy Troizenian, who
held some offices in his country; cf. also A. Avraméa, Le Péloponnèse du IVe au
Ville siècle. Changements et persistances (Paris 1997) 124.
