Money, Warfare and Power in the Ancient World offers eleven papers
analysing the processes, consequences and problems involved in the
monetization of warfare and its connection to political power in
antiquity. The contributions explore not only how powerful men and
states used money and coinage to achieve their aims, but how these
aims and methods had often already been shaped by the medium of
coined money – typically with unintended consequences. These
complex relationships between money, warfare and political power
– both personal and collective – are explored across different
cultures and socio-political systems around the ancient
Mediterranean, ranging from Pharaonic Egypt to Late Antique Europe.
This volume is also a tribute to the life and impact of Professor
Matthew Trundle, an inspiring teacher and scholar, who was devoted
to promoting the discipline of Classics in New Zealand and beyond.
At the time of his death, he was writing a book on the wider
importance of money in the Greek world. A central piece of this
research is incorporated into this volume, completed by one of his
former students, Christopher De Lisle. Additionally, Trundle had
situated himself at the centre of a wide-ranging conversation on
the nature of money and power in antiquity. The contributions of
scholars of ancient monetization in this volume bring together many
of the threads of those conversions, further advancing a field
which Matthew Trundle had worked so tirelessly to promote.
