Comment: | Contest name is not made explicit, he won in Hierapolis 2 times. The dating is uncertain, and based on the mentioning of a victory under joint rule, either referring to Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus or Severus and Caracalla, cf Farrington (2012), 151 note 516, who also offers the date 183-198 A.D. as an option. Agathopous was a victor in the dolichodromos, 'in all the following sacred games (hierous agonas'). - PK |
