Imagination of a Monarchy
A Note on the Ptolemaic Bronzes in Series 6
Towards the end of Ptolemy IV’s reign (222-205/4 BC), the scribes in Egypt changed their method of account from one using (silver) obols and drachms to one using copper drachms and talents. About the same time, the monarch retired his big bronzes - what numismatists now call Series 3 to 5 (2) - and eventually replaced them with Series 6, a bronze coinage of much smaller weights and modules
The Surge in Prices under Ptolemies IV and V
Ptolemy IV (222-205/4 BC) reduced the weight of his bronze drachm-coin from 68.5 gm to 2 gm and thereby inflated the volume of copper drachms in his kingdom by 34 times. But over his reign and into the early second century, the cost of wheat and menial labour rose about 60 times, so that other factors helped to increase the price of goods and services. Those factors were certainly an increase in the velocity of the bronze coinage, but only possib…
Imagination of a Monarchy
Scholars have long known that the Egyptian Ptolemaic monarchy underwent a transformation between 323 and 30 BC. The queens of that dynasty started as subordinates of the kings but ended as their superiors. Exactly when and how this change occurred has proven problematic for modern scholars. R.A. Hazzard argues that this change was put in motion by Ptolemy II, who glorified his sister ArsinoT and made acceptable a civilian style of kingship based …
Theos Epiphanes
Burton Y. Berry gave a unique silver tetradrachm to the American Numismatic Society in 1959. The obverse of the coin bears the diademed and draped bust of a Ptolemaic king wearing sideburns, and, in the left field behind the king's portrait, a six-pointed star or comet (*). The reverse bears an eagle facing left on a thunderbolt, an inscription ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ (“of Ptolemy the king”), a six-pointed star or comet in the right field, and a mono…
The Regnal Years of Ptolemy II Philadelphos
SOMETIME DURING the spring of 1902, B. P. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt obtained a large and important group of papyri dating from the third century B.c. from the Ptolemaic necropolis of El-Hibeh (Grenfell and Hunt v). Those papyri included letters, receipts, and accounts dated by a series of Egyptian or Macedonian months and regnal years, so that the editors attempted the task, apparently mechanical, of placing the documents in chronological order (Gr…
