The Memory of the Battle of Plataea in Epigraphy

Yannis Kalliontzis (Ionian University)

This talk will present the ways through which epigraphy preserved and propagated the memory of the battle of Plataia. I will focus in particular on the epigraphical attestations of the agōn of Eleutheria, the title aristos tōn Hellenōn, and the attitude of Roman emperors towards the memory of the battle of Plataia.
