The Dio of Alexandria was sent to complain about which Egyptian king of Macedonian decent?
Dio of Alexandria Dio of Alexandria (Greek: Δίων ) was an Academic philosopher and a friend of Antiochus of Ascalon who lived in the first century BC. He was sent by his fellow-citizens as ambassador to Rome, to complain about the conduct of their king, Ptolemy XII Auletes. On his arrival at Rome he was poisoned by the king's secret agents, and the strongest suspicion of the murder fell upon Marcus Caelius. The defence of Caelius in April 56 BC, the "Pro Caelio", is considered one of Cicero's and indeed Rome's greatest orations.
Chrysogonus of Macedon Chrysogonus was an intimate friend and devoted servant of Philip V, King of Macedon from 221 to 179 BC. He was employed by Philip both in war and in peace, and possessed great influence with the king, which he seems to have exercised in an honourable manner, for Polybius says that Philip was most merciful when he followed the advice of Chrysogonus. He was also the father of poet Samus executed by Philip V.
