Athenodoros Cananites
Athenodorus Cananites (Greek: , ''Athenodoros Kananites''; c. 74 BC7 AD) was a Stoic philosopher. Life Athenodorus was born in Canana, near Tarsus (in modern-day Turkey); his father was Sandon. He was a student of Posidonius of Rhodes, and the teacher of Octavian (the future Caesar Augustus) at Apollonia. He was a personal friend of Strabo, from whom we derive some knowledge of his life. In 44 BC, he seems to have followed Octavian to Rome and continued mentoring him there. He is reputed there to have openly rebuked the Emperor, and to have instructed him to recite the alphabet before reacting in anger. Later, Athenodorus returned to Tarsus, where he was instrumental in expelling the government of Boëthus and drafting a new constitution for the city, the result of which was a pro-Roman oligarchy. Athenodorus is also written of by Pliny the Younger, who tells us of Athenodorus' renting of a haunted house in Athens. Athenodorus was wary because the house was exceptionally ch ...

Agesander Of Rhodes
Agesander (also ''Agesandros'', ''Hagesander'', ''Hagesandros'', or ''Hagesanderus''; grc, Ἀγήσανδρος or grc, Ἁγήσανδρος) was one, or more likely, several Greek sculptors from the island of Rhodes, working in the first centuries BC and AD, in a late Hellenistic "baroque" style.Boardman, 199–201 If there was more than one sculptor called Agesander they were very likely related to each other. The very important works of the groups of ''Laocoön and his Sons'', in the Vatican Museums, and the sculptures discovered at Sperlonga are both signed by three sculptors including an Agesander. Sculptures The name Agesander is only found in ancient literature in Pliny the Elder, but occurs in several inscriptions, though between them these certainly refer to a number of different individuals. Until the discovery at Sperlonga in 1959, only one work which Agesander executed was known, although this is one of the most famous of all classical sculptures. Pliny records t ...

Athenodorus Of Byzantium
Athenodorus (Greek: Ἀθηνόδωρος), also known as Athenogenes (Greek: Ἀθηνογένης), (? – 148) was Bishop of Byzantium from 144 until 148. During his years of office, when the city was administrated by Zeuxippus, there was a significant increase in the Christian population. Athenodorus commissioned the construction of a second cathedral in Elaea, which was later renovated by Emperor Constantine I, who wanted to be buried there.

The cathedral was devoted to the martyrdoms of Eleazar and of the seven children in 2 Maccabees 2 Maccabees, el, Μακκαβαίων Β´, translit=Makkabaíōn 2 also known as the Second Book of Maccabees, Second Maccabees, and abbreviated as 2 Macc., is a deuterocanonical book which recounts the persecution of Jews under King Antiochus I ....

Isaurian War
The Isaurian War was a conflict that lasted from 492 to 497 and that was fought between the army of the Eastern Roman Empire and the rebels of Isauria. At the end of the war, Eastern Emperor Anastasius I regained control of the Isauria region and the leaders of the revolt were killed. Background During the reign of Theodosius II (r. 402–450) people from Isauria, a poor and mountainous province in Asia Minor, reached for the first time high office in the Eastern Roman Empire. Emperor Leo I (r. 457–474) deliberately promoted Isaurians to important posts in the civil and military administration to counterbalance the power of the hitherto all-powerful Germanic elements. The Isaurians, however, were despised as semi-barbarians by the people of Constantinople, who in 473 rose in an anti-Isaurian revolt in the Hippodrome and in 475 overthrew the newly crowned Isaurian emperor Zeno (r. 474–475 and 476–491), killing all the Isaurians in the city in the process.

Claudius Athenodorus
Claudius Athenodorus was a Roman '' eques'' who flourished during the reign of the emperor Domitian. He was appointed to a series of imperial offices, including '' praefectus annonae'' for the city of Rome. Hans-Georg Pflaum noted that Athenodorus is the Greek translation of the Syrian Vaballath. This, combined with an inscription attesting that he was imperial procurator of Roman Syria during the reign of Domitian, led Pflaum to conclude Athenodorus was a native of that province. The ''gentilicium'' "Claudius" suggests that he became a citizen of Rome during the reign of emperor Claudius.Henriette Pavis d'Escurac''La préfecture de l'annone, service administratif impérial d'Auguste à Constantin''(Bibliothèque des Écoles françaises d'Athènes et de Rome, 226) (Rome: Ecole française de Rome, 1976), pp. 329f The other appointment Athenodorus is known to have held was ''praefectus annonae'' or overseer in charge of the public dole of bread for the inhabitants of Rome. = ILS ...
