Decree of Philippi, 242 BCE
The Decree of Philippi 242 BCE was a message from the city of Philippi to the city of Cos in response to an envoy sent by the latter. These messengers requested the asylia, or inviolability, of a sanctuary of Asclepius. The Decree, one of four cities’, is an agreement to respect this request of. The asylia would later be revoked by the Roman emperor Diocletian.
==History of Asylia==
From the 260s BCE to early Roman imperial times, Greek cities sought and received recognition of their asylia from other parts of the Greek world—kings, cities, leagues—and eventually from the Roman Empire itself. Asylia means inviolatibility, or freedom from desecration. What the asylia pertained to in each city’s case was different. The city could be asking for the asylia of an important sanctuary belonging to the city, the city itself and the territory surrounding it, or a combination of both.〔 According to M.M. Austin, the reasons for these requests stemmed from the instability of the times.〔 With groups such as the Aetolians inflicting random acts of violence in a time of peace, cities sought protection from their neighbors.〔 What actual benefits came out of these decrees is unclear; they merely state that they recognize the asylia of the requested area.
