| description | This article
presents an inscription recently found in the district of Bilecik. In this
inscription the name of the governor Rufius Varenus, not Varenus Rufus, is
recorded in epigraphic evidence for the first time. A notable piece of
information provided by this inscription is that the governance of this senator
in Bithynia cannot be dated to the years 105/106, which has been the commonly
accepted dating until today, but to 102/103 as this inscription was raised in
the sixth year of the tribunician power of Traianus, during the First Dacian
War. A certain man Achaïkos holding the titles Euposiarches and Paraphylax, son
of Oxathres, is honoured in this inscription. It also mentions a people called
the Trikkeanoi, within the borders of Bilecik, and the district of Plassyene,
whose name and existence was previously unknown. |
