International audience ; This paper focuses on the career of Cn. Flavius, one of the most important characters of the Roman political life at the end of the fourth century BC. Reassessing the available sources on Cn. Flavius shows that he had an authentic political career, long and, in particular, that he had probably been tribune of the plebs. Flavius can be thus placed in a different way within the roman reforming sphere of this period. The parallel reconsideration of the vocabulary of some sources allows, at last, to add that his action as aedilis was also understood in the terms of the disclosure of a secret knowledge to non-initiated people, as it could be found in the Greek world. ; Cet article se propose de revenir sur la carrière d'une personnalité essentielle de la vie politique romaine de la fin du IVe siècle avant J.-C. : Cn. Flavius. Le réexamen des sources disponibles sur ce personnage montre qu'il eut très certainement une véritable carrière, longue et, en particulier, qu'il occupa sans doute la charge de tribun de la plèbe. Cela permet en outre de réinscrire différemment Flavius dans les milieux réformateurs romains de cette époque. L'examen parallèle du vocabulaire de certaines sources permet enfin d'ajouter que son action en tant qu'édile a aussi été conçue dans les termes de la divulgation d'un savoir secret à des non-initiés, à la manière de ce qu'on pourrait rencontrer dans le monde grec.

Teófanes de Mitilene alcanza el más alto honor al que un griego sometido podía aspirar, a su regreso tras cuatro años de campañas con Pompeyo por Oriente. En pago a su epopeya sobre las hazañas del Magno, su ciudad y él mismo fueron liberados, y a partir de ahí, para Teófanes todo fueron reconocimientos. Pero las fuentes subrayan que esta relación entre el griego y su patrono, no fueron tan beneficiosas para el romano como para el primero, y que Teófanes no supo estar a la altura de las circunstancias del estadista romano, sobre todo en los años que siguieron. La relación entre ambos estuvo caracterizada por una cadena de malos consejos y peores decisiones que finalmente condujeron al destino fatal de Pompeyo tras Farsalia ; Theophanes of Mytilene gets the highest honour to which a subjected greek citizen could aspire, when he returned after four years of military campaign in the cohors praetoria of Cn. Pompeius, across the East. Theophanes and his town were rewarded with the civitas and the freedom, respectively, because of the epic report he wrote about the expedition. Literary sources show that these relations were not as profitable to Pompeius as to Theophanes, who didn't know how to rise to the occasion of the roman magistrate, during the following years. That relation between the two of them was distinguished by a succession of bad hints and worst decisions, which finally lead to Pompeius to his tragic ending
