Most people have some idea what Greeks and Romans coins looked
like, but few know how complex Greek and Roman monetary systems
eventually became. The contributors to this volume are
numismatists, ancient historians, and economists intent on
investigating how these systems worked and how they both did and
did not resemble a modern monetary system. Why did people first
start using coins? How did Greeks and Romans make payments, large
or small? What does money mean in Greek tragedy? Was the Roman
Empire an integrated economic system? This volume can serve as an
introduction to such questions, but it also offers the specialist
the results of original research.
