| description | Three honorific inscriptions discovered at the upper city gate of Sillyon shed some light on the relationship between the city and members of the Roman imperial aristocracy. The inscriptions are engraved on two pedestal blocks which carried statues of the persons honoured. These are Marcus Mannius Balbus and his son Messala and a certain Caius Domitius Calvinus. In their senatorial career the first two reached the praetorship, but apparently not the consulship. The third person could be a descendant of Cn. Domitius Calvinus, who in the battle at Pharsalos led the centre of Caesar's army and was subsequently entrusted with the governorship of Asia. Judging from the letters, the inscriptions date from the first or second century AD. Honoured at a prominent point near the entrance to the city, the honoured were probably patrons of the city of Sillyon. |
