Years: 147 - 147
Arrian, had retired on the death of his patron, the Emperor Hadrian, in 138 to Athens, where he has become a citizen and a member of the Boule (Council).
He holds the post of Archon in 145, once the city's leading political post but by this time an honorary one.
It is here that he has devoted himself to history, writing his most important work, the Anabasis Alexandri or The Campaigns of Alexander, basing the biography on the writings of Alexander's generals Ptolemy and Aristobulus.
He also writes the Indica, an account of the voyage by Alexander's fleet from India to the Persian Gulf under Nearchus, and a political history of the Greek world after Alexander, most of which is lost.
