ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
From Antioch on the Maeander
father of senators, highpriest of Asia of the temples in Sardis
Remarks: The function of the highpriest of the imperial cult of Asia has been identified by
several scholars with that of the asiarch, see in particular J. Deininger, Die
Provinziallandtage der römischen Kaiserzeit von Augustus bis zum Ende des dritten
Jahrhunderts n. Chr. (München-Berlin 1965) 41-50; M. Rossner, "Asiarchen und
Archiereis Asias", Studii clasici 16, 1974, 101-111; P. Herz, "Asiarchen und
Archiereiai: Zum Provinzialkult der Provinz Asia", Tyche 7, 1992, 93-115; M.
Campanile, I sacerdoti del koinon d'Asia (I sec. a.C - HI sec. d.C): Contributo allo
studio della romanizzazione delle élites provinciali nell'Oriente greco (Pisa 1994);
H. Engelmann, "Asiarchs", ZPE132, 2000, 173-175. Based on evidence from
inscriptions and coins other scholars argue, however, against the identification of the
two titles, see R. Kearsley, "Asiarchs, archiereis and archiereiai of Asia: New
evidence from Amorium in Phrygia", EA 16, 1990, 69-80; id., "The Asiarchs of
Cibyra again: the Roman presence in southern Asia Minor 1st c.B.C.-lst c. A.D. and
its impact on the epigraphic record", Tyche 11, 1996, 129-155 and S. Friesen,
