Abstract:
This study, after brief remarks on Athenian-Makedonian relations,identifies Honoratianos Polycharmos of Argyro B. Tataki, Ancient Beroea;Prosopography and Society (Athens, 1988), p. 239, No. 977, as the husband ofClaudia Themistokleia (from the deme Melite) and father of HonoratianePolycharmis of IG II2 3710. The identification explains Honoratiane Polycharmis’claim of descent from Alexander in IG II2 3679. The study alsocomments on the Makedones themselves, the claims of descent from famousGreeks, Alexandros Philippou Megalopolites, and other pertinent topics.
