Name

Philotas

Magistrate in Dyrrhachium/Illyria, c. 2nd/1st cent. BC

The name is attested on coin obverses from the Hellenistic period: A. Maier, Die Silberprägung von Apollonia und Dyrrhachium, Numismatische Zeitschrift 41, 1908, p. 28 nos. 394-396 (c. 229-100 BC). He might represent a relative of (or be actually identical with?) a person of the same name from adjacent Corcyra (see here https://ikmk.smb.museum/ndp/person/9480).

Lit.: W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) p. 877 s. v. Philotas (2nd/1st century BC); P. M. Fraser - E. Matthews (eds.), Lexicon of Greek Personal Names III A. The Peloponnese, Western Greece, Sicily and Magna Graecia (1997) s. v. Philotas (no. 25) (250-50 BC).
