Abstract
The grant of amnesties to several Peloponnesian tyrants during the expansion of the Hellenistic Achaean Confederacy has not been studied. In this paper it is proposed to analyze some political and cultural features of this main practice taking into account the recent theoretical and historiographical developments on the field of collective memory and identity studies. In this sense it will be explored here the scope of the amnesty granted to these tyrannical regimes, focusing on how the members of the Achaean political elite chose to remember and not forget the tyrants and to build a collective and shared vision of the past in which the fight against them became a cornerstone to their identity definition process.
