Magnesia and the Greeks of Asia (I.Magnesia 16.16)	2007	10	.pdf	application/pdf	3803	164	64	A Pharsalan victor in the Olympic pankration of the later fourth century was the “first from the land of Thessaly” to have won this particular contest; in the same period, an individual claims to be the “first of the Cretans” to have been victorious at the Nemea.16 Instances relating to individual cities are very numerous in the Hellenistic and Roman Imperial periods.17 Such claims were not neces- sarily only a matter of civic pride. As we have recently been reminded in a useful study of the institutions of the Leucophryena,1 status as “crowned” games was not a decision the host city could make for itself; stephanitic status was conditional on being recognised as such by other cities.	cache/grbs-691.pdf	txt/grbs-691.txt
