Summary: During the years 49-44, there was a trend of adding additional legends on coins, which was used extensively by Caesar's moneyers. These legends were related to recognized qualities with established temples and cults in the Roman community, reflecting Caesar's ideological program.

Summary: This paper examines the references to the members of the Old Academy in Andronicus and Boethus, arguing that these references indicate the commentators' views on the ancients and recent authors. It further suggests that this philosophical agenda reflects the influence of the Antiochean school and allows for a reevaluation of the philosophical exchanges between different schools in the first century BCE.

Summary: In this article, the author proposes that the epigram Anthologia Palatina 9.25 was authored by Antipater of Sidon.

This analysis also offers innovative approaches to reading Antipater's other epigrams and sheds new light on his poetics of imitation.
