<p>Theophanes of Mytilene gets the highest honour to which a subjected greek citizen could aspire, when he returned after four years of military campaign in the <em>cohors praetoria </em>of Cn. Pompeius, across the East. Theophanes and his town were rewarded with the <em>civitas </em>and the freedom, respectively, because of the epic report he wrote about the expedition. Literary sources show that these relations were not as profitable to Pompeius as to Theophanes, who didn’t know how to rise to the occasion of the roman magistrate, during the following years. That relation between the two of them was distinguished by a succession of bad hints and worst decisions, which finally lead to Pompeius to his tragic ending.</p> |
