place
Sicyonium
also: Sicyon
Sicyon, the old Greek city west of Corinth in the northern Peloponnese, the seat of an important school of painting (Pamphilus and Apelles) and a city much praised by Cicero as a centre of art. Cn. Dolabella's depredations there as governor of Cilicia are recalled at Verr. 2.1.44.
Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 2.21 §6 what you have done with the Sicyonians
Sicyon, a city of the Peloponnese, owed money to Atticus; recovering the debt was a long-running and vexing piece of his business that Cicero repeatedly asks after. The matter recurs across the Atticus letters of these years.
