SUMMARY:'Other emperors have freed cities, Nero alone an entire province': Nero's liberation of Greece...
DESCRIPTION:'Other emperors have freed cities, Nero alone an entire province': Nero's liberation of Greece revisited.     **Abstract**  This paper focuses on a well-known yet seldomly discussed episode in the history of Roman Greece - Nero's grant of freedom and tax-immunity to the province of Achaia in 67 CE. Looking at a selection of literary, numismatic, and epigraphic sources - including Nero's liberation speech, inscribed by the Boiotian city of Akraiphiai shortly after its delivery at the Isthmian Games in Corinth - it considers some of the practical implications of this short-lived freedom, and how it fits into the wider context of Rome's policy towards Greece in the early imperial period.     This is a School of Classics Event.
