In the shifting constellations of power during the Diadochan Empire, Rhodes succeeded in becoming a major sea and trading power, thereby attracting large numbers of foreigners. Starting from their legal status, this study examines the social position of the foreigners residing in Rhodes. It looks closely at the forms of interaction between the foreigners and the citizens of the polis, and the opportunities for social mobility.
