As for Αὐρ(ήλιος) Ἀπολλωνίδης Ἀπολλοδώρου, his Greek father’s<br />

name and the date of the inscription after 214 are arguments to suggest that<br />

he belonged to the elite of the province who received roman citizenship<br />

and roman names after the Constitutio Antoniniana.<br />

More interesting is the case of Τι(βέριος) Κλαύδιος Πολέμαρχος. he<br />

is the earliest known priest of the province of thrace whose gens received<br />

roman citizenship and roman names in the very beginning of roman<br />

rule in thrace where not even all the strategoi were romanized. the<br />

early date of the inscription, 103-114, as well as the specifics regarding<br />

the romanization of the elite when thrace became a roman province in<br />

46 BC, allow me to suggest that Τι(βέριος) Κλαύδιος Πολέμαρχος was a<br />

member of one of the most distinguished thracian aristocratic families. 153<br />
