Apollonides

Roman Period | Augustan Age of the Roman Period | Section on the Neronian era of the Roman Period of The Greek Anthology | Hadrian to the Accession of Commodus

APOLLONIDES, author of thirty-one epigrams in the Anthology, perhaps the same with an Apollonides of Nicaea mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius as having lived in the reign of Tiberius. One of his epigrams refers to the retirement of Tiberius at Rhodes from B.C. 6 to A.D. 2, and another mentions D. Laelius Balbus, who was consul in B.C. 6, as travelling in Greece.
