Context | Cities that had musical contests adopted the custom of sending the prizes to Nero |
Comments | Word also appears in Plin. Ep. IV.xxii.3 (catagorised as not likely a c-s), but S. does seem to be playing up the 'Greekness' of Nero's participation in contests/could have used certamina (as he does for example at the end of Ner.22.3 ) |
