In 32 BC military preparation was under way in the civil war between Marc Antony and Octavian. Before Antony moved to Athens from Ephesos he stayed with his allies in the island of Samos. It was during his stay on Samos that the Dionysiac technitai were asked to put up performances. |
XIII. EVALUATION
i. | Private association | Certain |
Note | The nature of the evidence (literary source) provides little information about the organization and activities of the Dionysiac technitai who are otherwise well attested across the Hellenistic world; the organization of the technitai and their various branches have been studied thoroughly. |
