The most famous locals are the three soldiers who participated in a campaign, alongside the Romans, against the band of revolutionaries who tried to win the throne of the kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor in 129 BCE. They joined the Romans with their chariots, a most expensive weapon available only to the wealthiest elites who had demonstrated their loyalty to Rome. Their names (Philotas, Ipparchos, Kylisos) are preserved for all eternity thanks to the dedication of a bronze statue to Hercules the Saviour. The men also boast that they are descendants of Oxylus, the one-eyed man from Aetolia who assisted the Dorians to conquer the Peloponnese. He was rewarded with the land of Elis, whence came the first settlers of the land of Rogoi.
