monarquía helenística – diplomacia – asylía – Imperio seléucidaResumen
Según el decreto sancionado por la ciudad de Esmirna durante la Tercera Guerra Siria (OGIS 229), el rey Seleuco I exhortó a los “demás reyes, dinastas, ciudades y pueblos” a aceptar la petición de ἀσυλία de dicha pólis. Aunque la frase es una reconocida fórmula de pretensiones universalistas, su aparición en este contexto institucional es inusual, sobre todo por las relaciones entre reyes que presupone. Este artículo analiza las consecuencias del hecho que un rey pida a otros monarcas el reconocimiento de la ἀσυλία para una pólis subordinada a él. Entiendo esta estrategia como parte del repertorio diplomático disponible para los reyes del helenismo temprano. A través de ella, los reyes no renunciaron a su típica ideología expansionista guerrera, sino que logran expresarla por medio de un mecanismo no violento y sutil, que, no obstante, no deja de implicar dominación
