Abstract
SummaryThe treatment of the consonant ‘T’ in the names Tharsus and Thartarus and some temporal clauses shows that theHistoria Apollonii regis Tyriwas written by a Phoenician native speaker. Comparisons with both coins and laws issued under Caracalla suggest that this work has been written at Tarsus under this emperor. The author’s major aim was that of maintaining that both the Tyche of the city (Tharsia) and its new founder (Caracalla) were Tyrians. He wanted to argue against the contemporary ambition of his fellow citizens to be Greek.
