during the progresses which governors often made through their
province.
An imperial procurator (P. Aelius) Macrianus, is mentioned CIG 3939,
which seems to be erected by one of his freedmen * or dependents.
Perhaps Tib. Claudius Tryphon, inscr. 5,was also an imperial procurator.
Such an official must doubtless have resided, at laodiceia to super-
intend the fiscu8. M. Aurelius Claudius, Aug. lib. proc. (honoured at
Attouda CIG 3950), was an official of similar position.
§ 22. Peeegkim. The Romans resident at Laodiceia must have
been both numerous- and powerful; and it is noteworthy that in
inscr. 2 they are mentioned before the demos. This order occurs also
at Assos (Eph. Ep. V 155) and elsewhere. They consisted chiefly of
Italians who had settled for trading purposes, and natives of Laodiceia
who had obtained the civitas, together with a small number of officials.
After Caracalla's time the distinction between citizens of Laodiceia
and Roman incolae ceased to exist. Their organization and status
will be described under Apameia.
The Jews who resided in considerable numbers at Laodiceia ranked
probably as a separate people- until A.D. 70, when all national rights
were withdrawn from them. They are mentioned in a letter addressed
by the government of Laodiceia to Gaius Rabirius in 48 or 45 B.C.3,
and they had perhaps been introduced by Antiochus the Great § 1.
They also will be discussed under Apameia.
Sedatus Theophilus of Nikaia, who had been praetor and was
therefore of senatorial rank, seems to have had some connexion with
Laodiceia; for L. Sedatius (sic!) Theophilus, who is praised in
CIG 3937 as a benefactor to his fatherland, seems to be a relative
of his 4.
