Origins and Ends
This article examines the disconnect between, on the one hand, the insistence on the part of multiple characters in Thucydides’ first book on the need for the Peloponnesians to invest in naval power to defeat Athens, and, on the other, the failure to act on this in the narrative of books 2–7. It then analyses the numismatic evidence for the way in which Sparta does then act upon this advice in the course of the Ionian War, and suggests that Thucy…
Coinage in Imperial Space
This article introduces the historical and monetary problems that lie at the heart of this special volume by offering an overview of the ps.-Aristotelian Oikonomika , particularly regarding its chronological and geographic context, and by outlining the ways in which the articles that follow contribute to elucidating the monetary history of the transition from the Achaemenid to Hellenistic empires. Abstract: Cet article présente les questions hist…
An Attalid Overstrike and its Implications
Cette note publie une nouvelle surfrappe d’une pièce attalide de Pergame sur une pièce séleucide d’Antioche. Elle en explore les implications chronologiques et soutient que la surfrappe confirme l’introduction du monnayage cistophorique dans les années 160. Les implications pour d’autres monnaies sont également explorées
The Spread of Coins in the Hellenistic World
Polybius, Aratus, and the History of the 140th Olympiad
This chapter reassesses Polybius' claim that he was a continuator of the memoirs of Aratus of Sicyon, which ended at the end of the 139th Olympiad in August 220 BC. Examination of Polybius' narrative of Achaean affairs and the Social War in Greece in the years that followed 220 in fact reveals a complexity of source material. This is evident, for example, in Polybius' puzzling narrative of two Aetolian invasions in the campaigning season of 220 B…

The Closed Currency System of the Attalid Kingdom
This chapter begins with an overview of the nature and chronology of the activity of the mint of Pergamon from the establishment of coin production under Philetairos to the death of Attalos III. Through a detailed examination of the hoard evidence for the coinage of the second century bc, it argues for a late date for the beginning of the cistophoric coinage (in the 160s bc). The cistophoroi, it is argued, should be seen not as the sole currency …
Ptolemaic possessions outside Egypt
The satrapy of Egypt was seized by Ptolemy I (305/4–283/2 BCE ) on the death of Alexander the Great in 323 and became a kingdom following Ptolemy's assumption of the diadem in 305
Numismatics
This article describes the origins of Greek numismatics, the emergence of the discipline, die study, hoards, and future trends. In discussing Greek coins, it presents a vivid case study of a trajectory in Hellenic scholarship observed similarly in archeology. In the early days, when artistic or iconographical interests dominated, coins were often thought of as ‘medals’; today more attention is paid to their social context, including not just thei…

Money, Freedom, And Empire In The Hellenistic World
Martin tackled head-on the relationship between king and subjects, coinage and sovereignty, in the classical Greek world. Taking as his focus the coinage of Thessaly before, during, and after the Macedonian conquest in the fourth century BC, he found no evi dence for the subjection of the region to the Macedonian kings having had any effect on the ability of the Thessalians to produce coin. In a summary review of the other coinages of Greece at t…
Money And Its Uses In The Ancient Greek World
The papers collected in this book adopt new approaches to an important area of Greek economic history-the use of coined money-and suggest new lines of enquiry. fl. major purpose of this collection is to make the results of numismatic research more readily accessible to a wider range of students and scholars of ancient history. The book also aims to provide a more wide-ranging account than is cur rently available of the social and economic context…
Moneta and the Monuments
The mint of Republican Rome was located on the Capitol somewhere in the vicinity of the temple of Juno Moneta. This is one of the best known but perhaps worst attested pieces of topographical information concerning the Republican city of Rome. The evidence that the coins of the Roman Republic were made there is exiguous to say the least. Indeed, there are only two literary sources that explicitly site the mint at Juno Moneta's temple. The first i…
Pausanias and the historiography of Classical Sparta
The Periegesis of Pausanias has finally entered the world of serious literature. Long after the way was first shown, the Magnesian has arrived and duly taken his place in the intellectual world of the second century: a pilgrim to the past. Yet he was no bookish, library-bound bore. Recent studies have transformed our opinion of him as a recorder of the sites and treasures of what was, even to him, antiquity, ‘His faithfulness in reporting what he…
