Androsthenes of Thessaly

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.
