Apollonius (dioiketes) (original) (raw)
Apollonius (or Apollonios, Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος; 3rd century BC) was the dioiketes or chief finance minister of Egypt during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (r. 283–246 B.C.). Little is known about his personal life; in ancient documents, he is called simply "Apollonius the dioiketes" without recording his home city or his father's name. But a great amount of information has survived about his public role, in the archive of papyri kept by his assistant Zenon. As dioiketes he was succeeded by Sosibius.

| dbo:abstract | Apollonius (or Apollonios, Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος; 3rd century BC) was the dioiketes or chief finance minister of Egypt during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (r. 283–246 B.C.). Little is known about his personal life; in ancient documents, he is called simply "Apollonius the dioiketes" without recording his home city or his father's name. But a great amount of information has survived about his public role, in the archive of papyri kept by his assistant Zenon. Apollonius was dioiketes from about 262 to 245 B.C. As well as his official role, he was an important merchant and land-owner. He owned estates both abroad in Galilee and in . In 252 B.C. he accompanied Berenice, the daughter of Ptolemy, as far as Sidon before her marriage to the Seleucid king Antiochus II. Although the extent of his influence over the king's policies has been disputed, it was during his term of office that the economic and administrative system of the Ptolemaic Kingdom was fully developed, which made the kingdom by far the most prosperous of the Hellenistic states. As dioiketes he was succeeded by Sosibius. (en) Apollonio (in greco antico: Ἀπολλώνιος, Apollónios; ... – ...; fl. III secolo a.C.) è stato un funzionario egizio del periodo tolemaico. Fu dieceta di Tolomeo II Filadelfo, cioè gestore degli affari finanziari ed economici del sovrano, dal 262 a.C. alla morte del Filadelfo nel 246 a.C. Più che della sua politica come dieceta, siamo informati sui metodi con i quali gestiva la vasta tenuta presso Filadelfia, nel Fayyum, ricevuta dal sovrano come donazione revocabile. È stato infatti ritrovato l'archivio dell'amministratore di Apollonio, Zenone, che costituisce una fonte di grande importanza sull'economia e l'agronomia dell'Egitto ellenistico. Apollonio fu attivamente interessato alle innovazioni tecnologiche in agricoltura e specialmente in viticultura ed orticoltura, nonché al miglioramento delle razze degli animali allevati nella sua tenuta e ai lavori di sistemazione idrica della regione. Ai metodi usati nella tenuta di Apollonio si interessava anche il sovrano: sappiamo, ad esempio, da una lettera di Apollonio a Zenone che il re aveva ordinato personalmente di introdurre il doppio raccolto annuo. Gli affari di Apollonio erano molto estesi anche in altre zone dell'Egitto; egli possedeva anche una flotta mercantile per spedire le merci prodotte nella sua tenuta. Dell'ingegnere Cleone, che si occupava delle opere idrauliche necessarie per la tenuta di Apollonio, abbiamo notizia anche da altre fonti. (it) |
