Pasion, Athenian banker
Pasion (ca. 430–370 bce ) owned one of the most successful private Banks in Athens. From humble origins as a Phoenician slave to the bankers Antisthenes and Archestratos, Pasion rose to become one of Athens' wealthiest citizens.
Apollodoros, son of Pasion
Apollodoros (ca. 394‐post‐late 340s bce ) was the elder son of the banker Pasion and author of six speeches preserved in the Demosthenic corpus. They give a vivid picture of a wealthy first‐generation Athenian citizen anxious to distance himself from his servile origins by gaining prominence in public life

Money, Freedom, and Empire in the Hellenistic World 5. The Coinage of Rhodes 408-c.190 BC 6. Temples, Credit, and the Circulation of Money 7. Money and the Elite in Classical Athens 8.

Money And The Elite In Classical Athens
Land were two important money-using institu tions in the public economy of classical J\thens. Not only did the silver mines of Athens produce her owl coinage. The leasing of the silver mines, together with the proceeds from the leasing of public land, produced cash which the State could widely redistribute. Demo cratic payments, other benefits to citizens in cash and in kind, money spent on the navy or on public building projects, were all import…

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…
The private banks in fourth-century b.c. Athens
This essay has two aims: to affirm the significance of private banking in fourthcentury B.C. Athens, and to propose a model of its role in the economy. Such a project is desirable because there has been a tendency since the publication of Finley's The Ancient Economy to minimalize the significance of banking in ancient Greece. Banking is seen as a ‘fringe activity’ largely carried out by such ‘outsiders’ as metics and ex-slaves.Consequently histo…
The ‘Attis’ of Catullus
Considerable attention has been paid in recent years to Catullus 63. A number of salient features have been discussed: the psychological study of emotions; the use of animal imagery; the theme of marriage and love. There have also been some helpful studies on smaller, though important, aspects of the poem such as its use of ring composition or Catullus′ inventive treatment of the challenging Galliambic metre. But little work has been done on the …
The Iuvenca image in Catullus 63
Most commentators apply the phrase ‘vitans onus...iugi’ not only to the heifer but to Attis himself. When they ask what iugum Attis is avoiding, the immediate context provides no obvious answer. They are therefore compelled to interpret the iugum either in the light of a much earlier passage or in the light of a much later one. Neither procedure is satisfactory. On the other hand, at least one editor has proposed that the phrase ‘vitans onus...iu…
