| Additional information |
Cibyra occupied an awkward political position under the Flavians — a Pisidian city administratively bundled into the Conventus of Cibyra in Phrygia, its local magistrates eager to demonstrate loyalty to the new dynasty after the upheavals of 69 AD. The archon named in the inscription, Claudius Biantos, bears the Claudian nomen that spread through Asia Minor's elite families following Claudius's liberal grants of citizenship in the 40s and 50s AD — his family's Roman status was likely one generation old at most.
