Ancient Greek -- Archaic

Knapp, Robert. "Greek mercenaries, coinage and ideology," Eulimene 3 (2002), pp. 183-196.

Dark Age Greece was the starting point for the major changes in Greek culture seen in the Archaic Age. In this paper, the vast difference between life in Dark Age Greece and in the more advanced cultures of the Near East and Egypt as a focus for understanding how destabilizing those cultures must have been to Greeks coming into contact with them, is laid out. While most studies have focused on merchants as the main point of contact, it is emphasized here rather the Greek mercenaries whom we know fought in Egypt and throughout the Near East in the late Dark and then Archaic Ages. Service as mercenaries not only exposed Greeks to material cultures more sophisticated than their own; that service also served to consolidate ideas of the Hellenic "ethnicity". In addition, contact served to heighten the awareness that the inherited status structures based on birth "back home" could possibly be changed in favor of those who had gained wealth and self-confidence abroad. The author deals especially with the real and symbolic role of coinage in this cultural self-awakening. Whatever the practical advantages of coined money, and whatever the practical relation of the introduction of coinage had to pre-existing monetary systems of western Asia, its symbolic power was to make concrete the centrality of portable wealth in undermining the authority of immobile, land-based wealth. It was a potent symbol, too, of the relativity of power -that money was the actual root of power, no mater what myths existed to validate the continued rule of an adscriptive elite; that as coinage, money was much more visible and obtainable than before; and that as more visible and obtainable, more easily used to destabilize existing elitist intellectual and power structures. In sum, the introduction of coinage is part of the cultural shift influenced by Greek mercenary contact with the civilizations of the Near East and Egypt, and emblematic of the cultural results of Greek experience with those more sophisticated areas.

Psoma, Selene. "Skapsa kai Kithas. I nomismatiki martyria," Eulimene 1 (2000), pp. 119-126.

Dans le présent article, l'auteur a essayé de montrer que la cité de Skapsa est celle qui frappa des monnaies d'argent (tétroboles et tritétartèmoria) au Ve siècle avec la légende Ka- et de monnaies de bronze au IVe siècle portant la légende Skapsai(on). Etant donné que les lettres sk- peuvent alterner avec la lettre k en grec ancien, les cités de Kapsa et de Skapsa, comme celles de Kithas et de Skithai, sont identiques. Les types avec lesquels le monnayage d'argent et de bronze de la cité de Skapsa est frappé, reproduisent ceux des autres cités de la région. La cité de Skapsa peut être localisée en Chalcidique occidentale, au sud de Potidée. Il est certain qu'elle participa à la Ligue Chalcidienne à partir de 357 av. J.-C. Il faut localiser la cité de Kithas dans la région à l'ouest d'Olynthe et au nord de Sinos et de Potidée. Il s'agissait très probablement d'une cité de la Crouside. Le didrachme de Berlin et les tétroboles de poids attique à la tête de lion au droit que Gaebler et Flensted-Jensen ont attribués aux Skithai, ont été frappés par la cité de Scionè. (Selene Psoma)

Stefanakis, Manolis I. "Kydon the oikist or Zeus Cretagenes Kynotraphes? The problem of interpreting Cretan coin types," Eulimene 1 (2000), pp. 79-90.

Interpreting coin types is often a difficult task and the difficulty becomes even greater when it comes to Cretan coinage. Among the many narrative or non narrative types of Cretan numismatic iconography, for example, the dog that suckles an infant on the silver staters, drachms, tetrobols and tetradrachms of Kydonia is of particular interest, since different interpretations have been offered over the years. Similar is the case of the silver staters of Gortyn of the second half of the 4th and first half of the 3rd centrury BC, where a female figure is depicted seated on the branch of a tree. The problem of interpreting types such as these and many more narrative scenes and figures on the Cretan coins is caused partly because of the proliferation of myth in the late Classical and Hellenistic periods and partly because we lack local sources for Cretan mythology. Surviving sources are based on myths and variations of myth from mainland Greece, often misleading as far as Cretan iconography is concerned. In addition, artistic influences from mainland Greece or the execution of dies by traveling non-Cretan engravers make things even mistier since the individuality of Cretan tradition is "contaminated" with foreign elements, thereby making the proper interpretation of numismatic types virtually imposible.

The study of hoards containing issues of the Rhodian state from its foundation in 408 BC until the beginning of the 1st century BC, leads to the following conclusions: 1. The circulation of Rhodian coinage during the above mentioned period was restricted mainly within the borders of the Rhodian state. 2. The systematic control of coin circulation within Rhodian territory was achieved through the gradual decrease and withdrawl of the pre-existing local coinage (or part of it) and its simultaneous replacement by new issues. 3. The "closed" character of the Rhodian economy supported the commercial and political activities of the Rhodians and was an important factor in their prosperity during this period. (Manolis I.

Kolitsida-Makri, I. "O thesauros Gytheiou IGCH 170," Eulimene 2 (2001), pp. 121-128.

IGCH 170 was found at Gythion of Laconia in 1938. It consists of 33 silver coin-issues often occuring in Peloponnesian hoards: 1 drachm of Aegina, 32 triobols of Sikyon, 1 tetradrachm of Antiochus I Soter. The drachm issue, with two dots on the reverse incuse, dates to the second half of the 4th century BC. The triobols follow the so-called reduced Aeginetan standard, with an average weight of about 2.6 gr. each; these can be attributed to the very last years of the 4th up to the first decades of the 3rd cent. BC. The tetradrachm of Antiochus I, minted in Seleucia on the Tigris c. 278-274 BC, is important for the chronology of the find. In a total of 23 coin hoards found in the Peloponnese, buried in the period between the middle of the 4th and the 2nd cent. BC four include Seleucid tetradrachms (17 in all) of which 8 were minted in Seleucia on the Tigris. It is probably an emergency hoard connected either with the troubled times of Cleomenes III's war (228-222 BC) or the Social War (220-217 BC). Thus, the period around the year 220 BC is grosso modo suggested as the possible burial date. The Gythion find is another important hoard for the dating of the triobols of Sikyon and also provides further evidence for coin circulation in the Peloponnese during the second part of the 3rd cent. BC. (I. Kolitsida-Makri)

This paper deals with struck lead pieces from Tauric Chersonesos. Against the traditional view that they were emergency coins issued by Chernonesos in the second-first centuries BC because of a shortage of copper, the author argues that they were tesserae, struck by the Chersonesian mint at the turn of the third-second centuries BC, and used during the free distribution of food at festivals which may have been organized to celebrate the victory of the polis over the Scythians. A catalogue and die-study are provided. (Sergei A. Kovalenko)

?he silver coins of Hierapytna (tetradrachms, didrachms and drachms) bearing the head of Tyche on the obverse were minted between 110 and 80 BC and probably reflect the prosperity of the city during this period. This prosperity was the result not only of the Hierapytnian control over the rich territory of Praisos, but also of the increase in wine production in Hierapytna. The last suggestion is based on the finds of sealed Hierapytnian amphorae in Alexandria in Egypt, Kallatis in the Black Sea area and at the Trypitos promontory in the area of Siteia, where exacation has revealed part of an important Hellenistic site. The bee emblem that has been used to seal an amphora, as the official badge of Hierapytna, is also depicted on the reverse of two Hierapytnian bronze coins in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It is possible that the selection of the bee as a symbol was related to the conquest of Praisos by Hierapytna, since the type is typical for the Praisian coinage. The inscription engraved on the amphora sealing and on the two bronze coins is an abbreviation of the Hierapytnian ethnic: IE. On other seals on Hierapytnian amphoras the ethnic is inscribed in whole (IE(A)R?PYTNI[ON]) and names of officials (SOSOS, PASION) are inscribed too. Something similar is evident on the silver coinage of Hierapytna bearing the head of Tyche, minted from 110 BC onwards. The ethnic does not appear in full on any coin before 110 BC and names of the officials start appearing on coins in the second half of the 2nd century BC. It is probably the period during which Hierapytna starts organising its coinage in order to ease economic and administrative control of her expanded territory. The same control was probably applied during this period on commerce. It is therefore suggested that Hierapytnian amphorae and coins depicting a bee should be dated after 145 BC and rather towards the end of the the 2nd century BC. (Manolis I. Stefanakis)

The "hoard" confiscated by the authorities of Attica in 1993 and consisting of tetradrachms of Philip II (1 piece), Alexander III (3 pieces), Lysimachos (1 piece) and Athens (2 pieces), drachms of Alexander III (37 pieces), Philip III (6 pieces), Lysimachos (2 pieces), Larisa (3 pieces) and Pharsalos (1 piece), hemidrachms of Pharsalos (2 pieces), Opontii Locri (3 pieces) and Sikyon (1 piece), as well as diobols of Larisa (1 piece), if compared to the other "finds" of the period, verifies some observations already made in the past with respect to the coin circulation of the minor peripheral mints in the century that followed the death of Alexander. Once again it proves the local character, not only for most of them but also for other, more important mints. In addition the study of the new "hoard" of assumed Thessalian provenance, verifies the power and the potential of certain, mainly regal, coinages (Athens included) with a panhellenic range of production.

Trifiró, M.D. "The hoard Arkalochori-Astritsi 1936 (IGCH 154)," Eulimene 2 (2001), pp. 143-154.

Il tesoretto IGCH 154, rinvenuto a Creta (località Astritsi), consta di emissioni argentee provenienti dalle città cretesi e da Cirene, Corinto e colonie, Argo, Tebe ed Egina. Sono state studiate solo le emissioni non-cretesi che ammontano a cinquantacinque monete d'argento a cui vanno aggiunti altri sei esemplari provenienti da Cirene. Questi ultimi ufficialmente appartengono ad un tesoretto rinvenuto nel 1935 a Hierapytna (IGCH 318), ma molto probabilmente fanno parte del nostro ripostiglio, e sono attualmente conservati insieme ad esso presso il Museo Numismatico di Atene. Unitamente al catalogo numismatico si è fornito un breve commento relativo alle singole emissioni monetali, nel tentativo di contestualizzare le serie e di chiarirne la cronologia assoluta e relativa. Particolare attenzione è stata riservata all monetazione cirenea nel tentativo di motivarne la presenza nell'isola di Creta, alla luce dei rapporti economici e commerciali testimoniatici dalle scarse fonti storiche. Per tali serie si è sostenuta una cronologia "bassa" (300/290-280 a.C.) e si è proposto di identificarne lo standard ponderale con la fase intermedia del peso tolemaico adottato dal 310 a.C., probabilmente in concomitanza con un cambiamento della ratio tra oro e argento. I. "pegasi" provengono sia da Corinto che dalle sue colonie (Anactorion, Amphilochian Argos, Thyrrheion) e presentano simboli e monogrammi differenti, ma cronologicamente appartengono tutti al V periodo Ravel (387-306 a.C.). Delle emissioni argive, scarsamente studiate, si è presentata la classificazione e si è proposta una cronologia molto ampia, dovendo necessariamente appartenere al periodo precedente l'ingresso della città nella Lega Achea.

Duncan-Jones, R.P. "The denarii of Septimius Severus and the mobility of Roman coin: further comment," Numismatic Chronicle 162 (2002), pp. 342-245.

This note returns to the apparent upward trend in the eastern quotient in successive samples of Septimian denarii up to 196/7. The pronounced shrinkage over time in the proportion of early finer coins from Rome adds to the other evidence that Septimius's silver coinage underwent considerable sifting in Britain, during a period of acute coinage crisis, which should not be taken as evidence of long-distance coinage movement. The fall in the proportion of New Style eastern silver of Septimius (Duncan-Jones, NC 2001) itself seems to undermine the view that his eastern coinage was continuing to enter Britain at a later date.

Recent discoveries of new types and varieties of coins of John Comnenus-Ducas unknown to Hendy when he published DOC IV necessitate a reconsideration of John's coinage. The writer suggests that all three series (I, II and III) are Byzantine issues of Thessalonica. Series I was discontinued when John III Vatatzes commenced striking his own coins at Thessalonica, and series II ceased early in the reign of Theodore II when that emperor discontinued the issue of coins from Thessalonica. The writer also suggests that the extensive small issues of series III were produced for trade with Bulgaria into the early years of Michael VIII. (Simon Bendall)

An apparent hoard of 691 Venetian silver grossi and 393 Mamluk silver dirham fragments is discussed. 640 of the Venetian coins were of the second type of Antonio Venier struck between 1394 and 1400, and it was possible to work out the sequence of punches used to make the dies and establish a chronology for the issue. The introduction of the bearded doge variety is dated to 1397, after a de facto weight reduction officially recognised in 1399. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the circulation of Venetian coins in Mamluk Syria and their use by Christian pilgrims visiting the holy sites.

This study seeks to update the history of the coinage of the Saffarids, an important 3rd-9th century Islamic dynasty, which was last systematically treated in 1930. The study attempts to resolve certain questions - seemingly erratic minting patterns, mint location and nomenclature, and the political and religious meaning of inscriptions - that have never previously been satisfactorily addressed. Early Saffarid minting can only be understood in the light of their holy warrior activities. Paradoxically, once the Saffarids became more interested in the forms and trappings of rule, and their minting patterns became more regular, their actual power diminished. (Nicholas Rhodes)

Beginning with the Last Small Cross type of Æthelred II (c.1009-1016), Anglo-Saxon silver pennies were sporadically debased from the normal levels of c.90 to 95 per cent, down to 70 per cent or less. The authors, building on a recent study by Eaglen and Grayburn, explore the holdings of the Ashmolean Museum in the Last Small Cross type and Cnut's Quatrefoil type (c.1017-1024), where they found that 10 out of 71 specimens were debased.
