• Resumen

  • An inscription from Heraclea Pontica recording the names of victors in competitions in the city's gymnasium provides a glimpse into the activity and ideology of its citizen training system in the Roman period. Unusually for the time, several of the competitions are military in nature. In this article I present a new restoration of the text, which removes several anomalies in the published version, and explore the text's implications for our understanding of the later Greek ephebate.
