Nicomachus of Macedon

Nicomachus of Macedon


Nicomachus was a Macedonian of humble birth, brother of Cebalinus and eromenos of Dimnus, whose “conspiracy” set the stage for the so called Philotas affair. Curtius calls him exoletus (6.7.2, 8) and scortum (6.7.33). It appears that Nicomachus himself escaped punishment.
