Comment: According to Cartledge (1989) this athlete was a wrestler during the second or third century. It is unknown in which contests he contented. - YP Gouw suggests that Inventus' title of 'undefeated' in boxing was due to avoiding rather than taking on competition. He was appointed xystarch for life by an unknown emperor.
