Epigenes |
First magistrate attested in Athens in 70/69 BC. From Melitene. Brother of his colleague Xenon, grandson of Epigenes. Epimeletes in Delos in 126/125 BC (Habicht 1991, p. 14). Probably the two annual magistrates Epigenes and Xenon are identical with the brothers of the same name who are attested as ephebes in 80/79 BC - in this case they would have held the magistracy in their younger days (Habicht 1991, p. 14). Thesmothetes in 56/55 BC. Lit.: M. Thompson, The New Style Silver Coinage of Athens (1961) nos. 1237-1240 / her issue 93 (p. 563); C. Habicht, Zu den Münzmagistraten der Silberprägung des Neuen Stils, Chiron 21, 1991, pp. 5 and 14 (70/69 BC, his issue 95); Prosopographia Attica 4812; P. M. Fraser - E. Matthews, A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names II Attica (1994) p. 146 s. v. Epigenes, no. 67; W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) p. 481 s. v. Epigenes. |
