Unwelcome Dedications: Public Law and Private Religion in Hellenistic Laodicea by the Sea
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Seleucid Laodicea by the Sea has left us but one Hellenistic public decree (IGLS IV 1261). To the extent that scholars have paid close attention to this text it has been to support the argument that Seleucid kings ruled with a heavy hand, operating in concert with entrenched oligarchs and micro-managing through personal appointees. The decree was passed by the peligãnev, a council of elders and an institutional transplant from Macedonia; the proposal was moved by the e pistáthv, perhaps another old Macedonian office, and the magistrates (2–3). Thus, the inscription reminds us that Hellenistic cities were administered by powerful men who may have had the ear of the king. No news here. But the decree’s focus is neither kings nor power politics. This was a local matter, involving a tangled mess of property rights, religious imperatives, fiscal policy, and legislative problem-solving, a neat piece of local history: Etouv hlr0, mhnòv Au dnaíou l0, Asklhpiádou e pistátou kaì a rcóntwn gnẃmh e peì ̃ Wrov kaì Apollódwrov kaì Antíocov, oi i ereĩv toũ Sarápidov 4
