Nicias (Ancient Greek: Νικίας; died c. 20 BCE), also known as Curtias Nicias,[1] was a ruler of the island of Kos under Roman rule, during the Second Triumvirate and the early reign of Augustus. He is known from coinage, inscriptions, and anecdotes in ancient literary sources. Ancient sources call him a tyrant. The desecration of his tomb may have prompted the Nazareth Inscription.
