Antipatro di Derbe e i suoi contesti

Résumé

This note offers a new discussion of the evidence for Antipater of Derbe, a significant regional player in the history of Asia Minor in the mid-first century BCE, and takes stock of some recent contributions. Strabo famously and influentially depicted Antipater as a bandit and a tyrant; an inscription from Central Phrygia fundamentally complicates the picture.
