18. Μ(ΑΡΚΟΣ) ΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΣ ΑΧΑΪΚΟΣ
[1] W. Vollgraff, BCH28, 1904, 425, n. 7 (ILS 8863; Groag, Reichsbeamten, 143) [A.D. 104
or later].
Argos; a limestone stele bearing an honorary inscription for T. Prifernius Paetus; Antonius
Achaicus paid for the erection of the monument: ... Μ. 'Αντώνιος 'Αχαϊκός έΐκ τών ιδίων
υπέρ τήν πόλιν (for the whole text see ARG 213).
[2] P. Charneux, BCH80, 1956, 610-614, no. VII, fig. 7 (SEG 16, 1959, 258b) [2nd c. A.D.].
Argos, built into a triangular pilaster of bricks; a base bearing three honorary inscriptions for
the three children of Cn. Pompeius Cleosthenes, Diodotus, Cleosthenes and Calleas, who were
eisagogeis (agonistic officers). M. Antonius Achaicus was the agonothetes (...έπί αγωνοθέτου
Μ(άρκου) 'Αντωνίου Αχαϊκού) while Cn. Pompeius Cleosthenes (II) held the office of
eisagogeus (for the text see Cn. Pompeius Cleosthenes (II) ARG 208).
[3] M. Piérart, BCH 124, 2000, 495 and fig. 9 [2nd c. A.D.].
Argos, agora; a limestone block bearing an honorary inscription for the person erected by the
tribe of Hyrnathii. The name is attested here as Μ(αρκον) Αντώνιον Ι Μ(άρκου) υίόν Αχαϊκόν.
Remarks: For the person see Mitsos, 32 and cf. also COR 53.
19. ΜΑΡΚΟΣ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΣ ΑΝΑΞΙΩΝΟΣ ΥΙΟΣ ΑΡΙΣΤΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ
IG IV 581 [end of the Republican period].
Argos; the σπατοληασταί honour the person as κτίστης and ήρως:
Οι σ(πα)τοληασταί Μάρκωι Άντωνίωι Ι Άναξύονος υίει Άριστοκράτει κτίστα, Ι ήρωι.
Remarks: Mitsos, 32 dates the person in 2nd/lst c. B.C. The father of the person was maybe
honoured by the Athenian demos (IG II 2 3889). His grandfather, Aristocrates, is
identified with a friend of M. Antonius, cf. Plut., Ant. 69, where he is named ρητο­
ρικός; P. Graindor, Athènes sous Auguste (Le Caire 1927) 236. So citizenship and
the family name are probably owed to M. Antonius.
