A few Remarks on the Place of ΠΑΝΑΜΟΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΣ in the Rhodian Calendar

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to discuss the place of the intercalary month, ΠΑΝΑΜΟΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΣ, in the Rhodian calendar. Since the appearance of Nathan Badoud’s monograph on the chronology of the Rhodian inscriptions in 2015, scholars have accepted his suggestion that ΠΑΝΑΜΟΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΣ followed immedi - ately after ΠΑΝΑΜΟΣ. It is, however, argued in the present paper that the evidence provided by the months named on the amphora stamps and the dies identified by Gonca Cankardeş-Şenol (2015a-b, 2016, 2017) - in conjunction with a new interpretation of an inscription from the Mylonas property in Rhodes first published in 2008 – indicates that ΠΑΝΑΜΟΣ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΣ came after ΘΕΣΜΟΦΟΡΙΟΣ and that the latter was the first month in the Rhodian eponymic calendar, as was commonly believed before Badoud published his magnum opus in 2015.
