| Summary: | The present article addresses, through the study of two Hellenistic inscriptions, the administrative management of extra-urban roads by Greek city-states. While the organisation of roads within urban areas is relatively well documented by urbanistic inscriptions, the documentation about extra-urban roads is scarce. However, two urbanistic inscriptions contain clauses on the roads of the civic territory: a text from the Macedonian city of Kyrrhos, EKM II, 401 (for which a partial translation is proposed), as well as the famous astynomic inscription from Pergamon OGIS 483. The clauses about the roads in the territory of each city are compared in order to provide perspectives on the public management of road networks in the Hellenistic period. |
