Agoranomia: Studies in Money and Exchange Presented to John H. Kroll

edited by Peter G. van Alfen

Offered to John H. Kroll on his retirement from the University of Texas at Austin this volume features essays on Greek coinage, exchange, and polis economies from the
Archaic to Hellenistic periods. Included in the collection are studies that explore aspects of Homeric and Archaic exchange, the law of sale, and cavalry costs. Other studies examine the social, economic and historical contexts of coinages from Abdera, Athens, "Lete," Lydia, Mylasa, and Side, and present new interpretative approaches to "cooperative" coinage and those from archaeological sites. 271p, 14pls, illus. (American Numismatic Society 2006)

Review Quote

"...there is a great deal here which will be of interest and importance to those with any interest in the economies, and indeed the history more generally, of ancient Greece."
