The numismatic circulation of the cities of Chalcidice, the Chalcidic League, and the Bottiaeans in the kingdom of Macedonia during the 5th and 4th centuries BC
In this article the presence of coins from the mints of the Chalcidice within the boundaries of the Macedonian kingdom is examined. Along with coin hoards, we include archaeological material from various sites to understand and interpret the existence of coins of the cities of Chalcidice, the Chalcidic League, and the Bottiaeans within the Macedonian kingdom. After the final conclusions, a group of bronze coins from the excavations of Pella is pu…
Constructing the ‘Urban Profile’ of an Ancient Greek City
This article argues that a holistic approach to documenting and understanding the physical evidence for individual cities would enhance our ability to address major questions about urbanisation, urbanism, cultural identities and economic processes. At the same time we suggest that providing more comprehensive data-sets concerning Greek cities would represent an important contribution to cross-cultural studies of urban development and urbanism, wh…
Numismatic Circulation in the Macedonian Kingdom. The Case of Pella
Excavation over the past decades at Pella has brought to light many aspects of the city’s public and domestic life. Monumental complexes, such as the palace and the Agora, public buildings, houses, sanctuaries and cemeteries have been unearthed. An especially interesting find is the city’s north wall of the classical period, which was built in the late 4th c. BC and was probably related to the transfer of the Macedonian capital from Aegae to Pell…
Pelops on an Early Fourth Century BC Krater from Pella
In this article part of a red-figure bell krater, found in the area of the new entrance of the archaeological site of Pella, is presented. This vase is very interesting because of its rare iconographic subject. On side A the chariot of Pelops is depicted. From other sherds of the same vase we come to the conclusion that on the same chariot Hippodameia was also probably shown. In this scene elements of the abduction of Hippodameia by Pelops, as we…
Discovering Macedonian Red-Figure Pottery
The question of the appearance, operating conditions and diffusion of the products of local red-figure pottery workshops in the fourth century bc , in conjunction with the spread of Attic red-figure ware and its influence on local potteries, has been a focus of research in recent years. The result has been the recognition of a number of local workshops all across Greece, including those of Chalcidice, Boeotia, Euboea, Corinth, Elis, Sparta, Crete…
