The Heavy Athlete M. Aurelius Eutychiōn from Nysa ad Maeandrum
Abstract
M. Aur. Eutychiōn from Nysa ad Maeandrum was honoured by both the crowned athletes and the Olympic association. In the course of his successful career with over fifty victories in sacred games Eutychiōn gained the citizenships of Ephesus, Sparta, Elis and other cities. Although he re-ceived honorary titles like paradoxos and pleistonikes, he seems not to have completed the periodos. His victories are listed in chronological order. As a boxer and pancratist he won many sacred games not only in Asia Minor but also in Greece and in Italy. Eutychiōn was active from the 230s to the 250s.
