The career of Menogenes son of Isidoros and relations between Sardeis and the koinon of Asia under Augustus and Tiberius

Abstract:
The background to Sardeis' defeat to Smyrna over the right to Asia's second neokoros temple in 26 CE (Tac. Ann. 4.55–56) can be illuminated through the career of the prominent Sardian Menogenes son of Isidoros, as recorded in his honorific stele ( I.Sardis 8). A re-dating of his first term as ekdikos of the koinon of Asia (from 5/4 to 6/5 BCE) reveals even more starkly the stele's ideological significance as a monument reflecting Sardeis' concern over its regional eminence under Augustus and Tiberius, as this was increasingly challenged by the existence of a provincial koinon based at Pergamon.
