Seleucus, Son Of Bithys
Seleukos ( grc, Σέλευκος; died ), son of Bithys, was a Ptolemaic governor of Cyprus and admiral in the second century BC. Life Seleucus had citizenship of Alexandria and Rhodes (the latter was probably the result of an honorary grant of citizenship). In 157/6 BC, he was honoured at Delphi for his diplomatic intervention with King Ptolemy VI on behalf of the city. Probably immediately after the coronation of Ptolemy VIII in 145 BC, Seleucus was appointed governor ('' strategos'') of Cyprus and ''ex officio'' High Priest of the island. In honour of him, the priests of Aphrodite at Paphos dedicated a statue of him and a second statue was probably dedicated to him by the officers of the Cilician regiment of the Ptolemaic garrison on the island. By 141/0 BC at the latest, Seleucus had acquired the rank of admiral (''nauarchos'') in the Ptolemaic navy – as stated by at least three inscriptions. He retained the governorship and the admiralty until around 130 BC when he must have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
