D., Synesius in Constantinople , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 27:1 (1986:Spring) p.93 Synesius in Constantinople T. D. Barnes S YNESIUS OF CYRENE, after returning home from his study of philosophy in Alexandria, went to Constantinople to present the emperor with a golden crown and to request a diminution of the taxes levied upon his city or province. The latter work and certain letters reveal that Synesius attached himself to the politi­ cian Aurelianus, who ensured that, as a reward for praising his pa­ tron, Synesius obtained the desired tax relief for Cyrene, as well as personal privileges for himself.	cache/grbs-5111.pdf	txt/grbs-5111.txt
