Opramoas was an important civic benefactor in the 2nd century CE.
He was a magnate from the small Lycian town of Rhodiapolis (southern Anatolia, in modern Turkey).
His activities are recorded in extensive Greek inscriptions on the walls of his mausoleum at Rhodiapolis.
[1][2][3] "...apart from his gifts of games and a mass of civic buildings, we have recently found him offering to pay for the primary schooling of all the citizen-children at Xanthus, boys and girls alike"..."he gave funds for burial to people in need and paid the dowries of poor families' daughters"[4] He is mentioned in the French author Marguerite Yourcenar's novel Memoirs of Hadrian.
