On a Motivation Clause of Iospe I2 25 + 31
The paper proposes a new reading of the last motivation clause of IOSPE I2 25 + 31, that concerns the minting of bronze coins. It refutes the restoration proposed by Vinogradov and Karyshkovskiy involving silver and gold, and on the basis of evidence from other epigraphic documents mentioning the appointment of citizens responsible for the minting of coins explains the clause in the following way: the text simply says that a prominent citizen was…
Deconstructing a Prussian Myth
This article analyzes the clauses of the Athenian Standards Decree, which has long been interpreted as banning allied cities from minting their own coinage. It interprets the Standards Decree not as a sign of Athenian imperialism, as previously thought, but as a technical financial measure aimed at streamlining tax collection within the empire. It examines evidence from mints, hoards, and Athenian financial documents that cast doubt on this tradi…
A casus belli
On the basis of two passages of Thucydides (1.139.1, 140.4), which present the Megarian Decree as the main cause of the Peloponnesian War and state that it deprived the Athenian allies of their freedom, a new interpretation of the Megarian Decree is proposed. The provisions of the decree violated the sovereign rights of the cities/members of the Athenian Alliance by prohibiting the Megarians from using the ports and markets of the allied cities. …

Iconography-Heracles drakontopnigon -supports the relation to Agesilaus, the Heraclid par excellence, while the Hecatomnus hoard reveals that all coinages on the Chian standard of the hoard are associat…
Olynthos and Stageira
The aim of this paper is to examine the bronze coins excavated at two cities, Olynthos and Stageira. Both cities were situated in the Chalcidic peninsula, were members of the Chalcidian League and were destroyed in late summer of 348 BC by Philip II. Olynthos was the capital of the federal state while Stageira was a member of this state. Olynthos was considered as the largest city in Thrace while Stageira was less significant by far. Olynthos was…

Innovation or Tradition? Succession to the Kingship in Temenid Macedonia
This article attempts to show that the free designation of the successor to the throne by Ptolemy I and Seleukos I, and the association in power of the successor during the last years of the king’s reign, was not an innovation of the age of the Diadochi but an old Macedonian practice. Using IG II/III2 102, the treaty between Athens, Amyntas II and his son Alexander as a starting point, this work collects all the evidence for the designation of th…
