The Reckoning with Antigonus CHAPTER 6 The Reckoning with Antigonus While the diplomatic exchanges between Eumenes and Polyperchon resulted in Eumenes regaining his independence, they also put him again in conflict with Antigonus. After his release from Nora, Eumenes had been Antigonus’ ally. However, in the summer, as soon as Antigonus discovered Eumenes’ change of allegiance, he sent an army commanded by Menander to Cappadocia. Eumenes was forced to flee with only 500 cavalry and 2000 infantry. He did not have time to await the others who had promised to join him; until the agreement with Polyperchon there had been no reason to gather forces hastily. Now there was need for great haste. As it was, Menander missed intercepting Eumenes and his meager forces by only three days. Eumenes fled south over the Taurus moun- tains by forced marches into Cilicia. Menander followed to the mountains, but unable to overtake him, returned to Cappadocia (Diod. 18. 59. 1–2), where he may have remained as strategos (Billows 1990: 403). Fortunately for Eumenes, Antigonus was occupied in Asia Minor. In part, he was outfitting a fleet to seize control of the Hellespont (cf. Diod. 18. 72. 3–4; Polyaen. 4. 6. 8). Such control was necessary if he was to ensure that Polyperchon could not cross to Asia with an army of fresh Macedonians. In Cilicia, Antigenes and Teutamus, the commanders of the argyraspids, in obedience to the letters from the kings and Olympias, joined Eumenes (Diod. 18. 59. 3). It was these very same troops with the other Macedonians present in Egypt who had condemned Eumenes and the other Perdiccans (see Chapter 3). This willingness by the argyraspids to support Eumenes is, perhaps, the best argument against the proposition that there existed a traditional Macedonian army assembly with clear powers. Now, with the call from the kings and regent, they joined the very individual they had earlier condemned. Neither the regent, nor the king, issued a pardon; the sentence was simply ignored. It is difficult to believe that an assembly possessing the authority to arraign and convict could have its decisions so easily ignored by all parties, including many who had com- prised the very assembly that had issued the condemnation in the first place. These assemblies clearly had no constitutional authority (see Chapter 2). Eumenes with the forces that had come with him from Cappadocia and the argyraspids then moved on to Cyinda.1 Even though Antigenes and Teutamus 1 The actual site of Cyinda has not been identified, but it was somewhere between Soli and the mouth of the Cydnus (see Simpson 1957: 503; Bing 1973: 346, 348). © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���5 | doi ��.��63/9789004�97�73_008 164 CHAPTER 6 promised to cooperate fully with Eumenes, and the argyraspids had as a body greeted Eumenes with friendship and enthusiasm (Diod. 18. 59. 3; Plut. Eum. 13. 3–4), these troops and their commanders regarded themselves as an autono- mous force. The argyraspids represented a curious blend of Macedonian cus- tom and mercenary characteristics (Anson 1991: 230–47). They responded to the call from King Philip and his regent as loyal Macedonians, yet these troops often displayed a distinct lack of fidelity to any authority other than their own. Antigenes had participated in the assassination of Perdiccas in Egypt (Arr. Succ. 1. 35; Diod. 18. 39. 6; cf. Diod. 18. 36. 4),2 and the argyraspids as a body at Triparadeisus had been separated from the army given to Antigonus because of their mutinous behavior (cf. Arr. Succ. 1a. 35, 38).3 They were charged with transporting part of the royal treasury from Susa to Cyinda (Arr. Succ. 1a. 38). Since the completion of this task, the argyraspids had been operating in vir- tual independence in Cilicia (Arr. Succ. 1a. 38).4 Their commanders were not pleased with the subordinate role now ordered for them (Plut. Eum. 13. 4; Just. 14. 2. 8–9; cf. Diod. 18. 60). Plutarch (Eum. 13. 4) is especially clear that Eumenes’ subsequent difficulties with his new command came principally from the commanders of the argyraspids. Justin’s remark (14. 2. 7) that the argy- raspids regarded service under anyone other than Alexander as dishonorable and served others unwillingly is probably not short of the mark. Eumenes was, therefore, immediately faced with a serious threat to his authority. He needed these Macedonians, and, consequently, he had to placate both them and their commanders. This challenge to his authority was met in part by relying on a tactic which had worked well for him in Babylon. Eumenes told Antigenes and Teutamus, both Macedonian aristocrats,5 that as a Greek his only concern was the defense of the royal family, an interesting claim since he had for more than a year been resisting both the king’s regent and his general in Asia. Furthermore, 2 See Chapter 4. 3 Arrian (Succ. 1a. 38) refers to them as “the most rebellious of the Macedonians.” For the iden- tification of these “3000” with the argyraspids, see Chapter 4, Anson 1981:118–19. 4 In 320, Philoxenus (Berve 1973: 2:390–1 [#794]; Heckel 2006: 220 [#2]) was appointed satrap of Cilicia by the then regent Perdiccas (Arr. Succ. 24. 2); this appointment was confirmed at Triparadeisus (Arr. Succ. 1a. 34; Diod. 18. 39. 6; Just. 13. 6. 16). The argyraspids, however, saw themselves answerable only to the kings or their regent (cf. Diod. 18. 59. 3), as did the garrison commanders at Cyinda (Diod. 18. 62. 2). Indeed, except for the notice of his appointment and reconfirmation as satrap, Philoxenus disappears from the record. 5 While little is known concerning Teutamus, he was apparently a Macedonian aristocrat (see Heckel 1992: 316–19). When bribed to betray Eumenes to Antigonus in 318, he was dissuaded by Antigenes who emphasized Eumenes’ foreign birth (Diod. 18. 62. 7)..

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

    Alexander's Seventh Phalanx Battalion Milns, R D Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1966; 7, 2; ProQuest pg. 159 Alexander's Seventh Phalanx Battalion R. D. Milns SOME TIME between the battle of Gaugamela and the battle of A the Hydaspes the number of battalions in the Macedonian phalanx was raised from six to seven.1 This much is clear; what is not certain is when the new formation came into being. Berve2 believes that the introduction took place at Susa in 331 B.C. He bases his belief on two facts: (a) the arrival of 6,000 Macedonian infantry and 500 Macedonian cavalry under Amyntas, son of Andromenes, when the King was either near or at Susa;3 (b) the appearance of Philotas (not the son of Parmenion) as a battalion leader shortly afterwards at the Persian Gates.4 Tarn, in his discussion of the phalanx,5 believes that the seventh battalion was not created until 328/7, when Alexander was at Bactra, the new battalion being that of Cleitus "the White".6 Berve is re­ jected on the grounds: (a) that Arrian (3.16.11) says that Amyntas' reinforcements were "inserted into the existing (six) battalions KC1:TCt. e8vr(; (b) that Philotas has in fact taken over the command of Perdiccas' battalion, Perdiccas having been "promoted to the Staff ... doubtless after the battle" (i.e. Gaugamela).7 The seventh battalion was formed, he believes, from reinforcements from Macedonia who reached Alexander at Nautaca.8 Now all of Tarn's arguments are open to objection; and I shall treat them in the order they are presented above.

    E. BADIAN TWO POSTSCRIPTS ON THE MARRIAGE OF PHILA AND BALACRUS aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 73 (1988) 116–118 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 116 TWO POSTSCRIPTS ON THE MARRIAGE OF PHILA AND BALACRUS Waldemar Heckel (ZPE 70,1987,161-2) has done a service to prosopography of Alexander and the Diadochoi by his acute demonstration that the marriage of Phila and Balacrus, Alexander's satrap of Cilicia, must be accepted as historical fact. In view of the inadequacy of our source for the connection (the writer of romance, Antonius Diogenes, as recorded by Photius), it had been inconclusively discussed ever since Droysen first accepted it and then changed his mind about it.1) The dedication by an Antipater son of "Balagros" indeed establishes the fact. There is perhaps slight further confirmation for the identification discovered by Heckel in the spelling of "Balagros": the inscription coincides with Photius in this detail, and the spelling is a very rare variant.2) a.) Heckel should not, however, be followed in his acceptance of the authenticity of the letter cited by the Greek novelist. His statement that Photius "preserves, on the testimony of Antonius Diogenes, the details of a letter ..." is followed by his use of the letter in order to show that Phila cannot have been with her husband when he cook over the satrapy of Cilicia, since he still wrote to her from Tyre. In fact, there cannot be any doubt that the letter is fictitious: it pro- vides the setting for Diogenes' romance and the details are historically worthless.

Bordeaux, Olivier (Paris-Sorbonne) Graeco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek numismatics: Methodologies, new research and limits Numismatics is one of the leading fields in Hellenistic Central Asia studies, since it has enabled historians to identify 45 different Graeco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek kings, while written sources only speak of 10. The coins struck by the Greek kings are often remarkable, both because of their quality and the multiple innovations some of them show: Indian iconography, local language (Brahmi or Kharoshthi), new weight system, etc. Yet, broad studies by properly trained numismatists still remained scarce, while new coins mainly find their origin on the art market rather than archaeological digs. The current situation in Central Asia, especially in Afghanistan and Pakistan, does not help archaeologists to broaden their fieldwork. Die-studies are more and more often the methodology followed by the numismatists in the last decade, so as to draw as much data as possible from large corpora. During our PhD research, we focused on six kings: Diodotus I and II, Euthydemus I, Eucratides I, Menander I and Hippostratus. Beyond individual results and hypothesis, we tried to ascertain this particular methodology regarding Central Asia Greek coinages. Generally, our die-studies provided good outcomes, while most of our attempts to geographically locate mints or even borders remain quite fragile, in the lack of archaeological data.
