Summary/Abstract: In ancient Greek cities, the organization of festivals generated its own institutional system, with various officials involved in various aspects of the celebration. One of these officials was the panegyriarch, in charge of the market that took place during the festival. On the basis of a systematic survey of the epigraphic documentation, this paper aims at defining the profile of the individuals attested as panegyriarchs. It presents the chronological and geographical distribution of the evidence, studies the offices associated with that of panegyriarch within civic careers and reflects on the level of prestige of this specific magistracy.
