Antik Yunan geleneğinde en prestijli onurlandırma biçimi olarak kabul edilen ἰσόθεοι τιμαί (isotheoi timai) en yalın haliyle tanrılar kültüne ait uygulamaların (sunaklar, kurbanlar ve agon’lar) faniler için de kullanılmasını ifade eder. Tanrılara denk/yaraşır onurlar (ἰσόθεοι τιμαί) Helenistik Dönem hükümdarlarının ve onların mirasçısı olan Romalı magistratus’ların ismiyle anılan festivallerin (agones) ortaya çıkışının arkasındaki ana etmenlerden biridir. Bu bağlamda, makale kapsamında ἰσόθεοι τιμαί kavramından hareketle Erken İmparatorluk Çağı’ndan itibaren Küçük Asya kentlerinde Romalı magistratus’lara ithaf edilen agonistik festivaller tespit edilip etraflıca değerlendirilmiştir.

The Agones named after Roman Magistrate in Asia Minor During Principate

Öz

Ἰσόθεοι τιμαί (isotheoi timai) is considered the most prestigious form of honors in the ancient Greek tradition. At it's simplest, isotheoi timai refers to the use of the cult of the gods (altars, sacrifices, and agones) for mortals. Honors equivalent to the gods (ἰσόθεοι τιμαί) are one of the main drivers behind the emergence of festivals (agones) named after Hellenistic rulers and their inheritors, Roman magistrates. In this context, within the scope of this article, starting from the Early Imperial Age, agonistic festivals dedicated to Roman magistrates in the cities of Asia Minor were identified and evaluated, with reference to the concept of ἰσόθεοι τιμαί.
