A spring of silver, a treasury in the earth: coinage and wealth in archaic Athens

CIs: K. Sheedy, D. Gore

This project studies the impact of locally mined silver on the public treasury of the Athenians, and thus on the developing political economy of this important city-state during the years c.550-480 BC, by examining its employment for the minting of coins.
