Abstract
By their very nature all decrees of proxenia have the potential to reveal something of a city's external relations, but the author shows that this is particularly the case at Haliartos. The two earlier, very fragmentary texts were found during Austin's second season of excavations and thus came from in or by the sanctuary of Athena. The stoikhedon style is a little surprising at Haliartos though not unparalleled. One may reflect that the presence of the deceased Haliartan in Khalkis is not without its significance. It was precisely to that city that Lucretius may have carried off his booty following the sack of Haliartos and it was there that he retained female captives from the similarly anti-Roman city of Thisbe so why not also a captive or captives from Haliartos, especially a noted member of the anti-Roman faction?.Keywords: anti-Roman city; Haliartos; proxenia decrees; stoikhedon style
