This book was the first to undertake a comprehensive analysis of
the impact of money on the economy, society and culture of the
Greek and Roman worlds. It uses new approaches in economic history
to explore how money affected the economy in antiquity and
demonstrates that the crucial factors in its increasing influence
were state-formation, expanding political networks, metal supply
and above all an increasing sophistication of credit and
contractual law. Covering a wide range of monetary contexts within
the Mediterranean over almost a thousand years (c.600 BC-AD 300),
it demonstrates that money played different roles in different
social and political circumstances. The book will prove an
invaluable introduction to upper-level students of ancient money,
while also offering perspectives for future research to the
specialist.
