Androsthenes of Thessaly
Thessalian military commander
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Androsthenes (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδρόσθενης) of Thessaly was called the praetor of the country by Julius Caesar.[a] In 48 BCE, after Caesar's defeat at the hands of Pompey in the Battle of Dyrrhachium, Androsthenes shut the gates of Gomphi against Caesar.[1]
When Caesar inevitability breached the walls, the aristocrats and magistrates, likely including Androsthenes committed suicide.
