[{"id":158146,"title":"Weight and Value in Pre-Coinage Societies","subtitle":null,"description":"This second volume by the same author, on the subject of weight and value in pre-coinage societies1, consists of five parts. Each explores an independent subject, although all five focus on those who owned and used measuring tools in Bronze Age societies in the Aegean and the Orient. Part I presents the framework of the discussion: it deals with the material and symbolic significance of the balance and with the circulation of goods that required measurement and accounting. Part II presents a case study from the Aegean, the settlement of Akrotiri on the island of Thera. Balance pans and balance weights are discussed within their context as are metal items of standard forms and weight values. Part III presents three case studies of the Aegean in connection with the custom of depositing balances and weights in the tombs of their owners. The case studies concern three gold balances from Mycenae, the five sets of bronze pans from Vapheio and the reconstructed balance from Pylos. Part IV examines cultures from the Orient that have yielded comprehensible textual documentation on weight measuring and value estimation. It concentrates on valueadding textile production and acquaints the reader with current debate on problems of money, markets and prices. In Part V, the focus returns to the ancient users of the measuring tools in the settlement of Akrotri and offers an approach to dealing with the domain of the private economy. The interest here centers on the wealth of individuals and the cost of acquiring it, whether this wealth consists of real estate and house equipment, agricultural and animal capital, industrial products, private property in the form of metal, or accumulated merchandise. Textual information from the Orient is used at every step in the research presented in this book. The main aim is to present the material and offer arguments in the hope of provoking further discussion on the\u003cbr\u003ematter of personal economics in Late Bronze Age Aegean societies.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b161149.jpg","isbn":"978-960-7905-46-8","isbn13":"978-960-7905-46-8","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":5467,"name":"Μελετήματα","books_count":41,"tsearch_vector":"'melethmata' 'meletimata'","created_at":"2017-04-13T01:38:29.577+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T01:38:29.577+03:00"},"pages":320,"publication_year":2008,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"80.0","price_updated_at":"2010-12-07","cover_type":null,"availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1161,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":161149,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/weight-and-value-in-precoinage-societies-8209fbd7-008c-45e7-bb04-e66182840dbc.json"},{"id":162776,"title":"L'or des rois de Chypre","subtitle":"Numismatique et histoire à l'époque classique","description":null,"image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b165801.jpg","isbn":"978-960-7905-55-0","isbn13":"978-960-7905-55-0","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":5467,"name":"Μελετήματα","books_count":41,"tsearch_vector":"'melethmata' 'meletimata'","created_at":"2017-04-13T01:38:29.577+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T01:38:29.577+03:00"},"pages":379,"publication_year":2011,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"70.0","price_updated_at":"2011-05-02","cover_type":"Σκληρό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1161,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":165801,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/lor-des-rois-de-chypre.json"},{"id":214902,"title":"Επιγραφές Κάτω Μακεδονίας","subtitle":"Μεταξύ του Βερμίου όρους και του Αξιού Ποταμού: Επιγραφές Κύρρου, Γυρβέας, Τύρισσας, Πέλλας, Αλλαντής, Ιχνών, Ευρώπου, Βόρειας Βοττίας, Αλμωπίας","description":"Το παρόν σύνταγμα επιγραφών, καρπός πολυετούς έρευνας του Προγράμματος Βόρειας Ελλάδας και του Αρχείου Επιγραφών Μακεδονίας του Τομέα Ελληνικής και Ρωμαϊκής Αρχαιότητας του ΙΙΕ/ΕΙΕ, συγκεντρώνει το σύνολο των αρχαίων ελληνικών και λατινικών επιγραφών της διοικητικής περιφέρειας της αρχαίας Μακεδονίας μεταξύ του Βερμίου όρους και του Αξιού ποταμού, που είναι γνωστή ως Τρίτη Μερίδα, εκτός από τις επιγραφές της Πιερίας, καθώς και εκείνες της Βέροιας και της χώρας της (που είχαν ήδη εκδοθεί από το Πρόγραμμα το 1998 και το 2000).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eΜε την έκδοση των 632 αυτών επιγραφών από μια περιοχή που περιλαμβάνει, μεταξύ άλλων, τις δύο πρωτεύουσες του μακεδονικού βασιλείου, καλύπτεται ένα βασικό κενό της διεθνούς αρχαιογνωσίας. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eΜέσα από τα αρχαία κείμενα, τον σχολιασμό τους και τα εισαγωγικά κείμενα για τις επιμέρους πόλεις σκιαγραφούνται διαχρονικά, από τον ύστερο 5ο αιώνα π.Χ. έως τον 6ο αι. μ.Χ., η γεωγραφία, η ιστορία, οι πολιτικοί και κοινωνικοί θεσμοί, οι λατρείες, το δίκαιο, η οικονομία, η γλώσσα και ο πνευματικός βίος της κοιτίδας του αρχαίου μακεδονικού βασιλείου.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b218117.jpg","isbn":"978-960-9538-48-0","isbn13":"978-960-9538-48-0","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":1143,"publication_year":2015,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"120.0","price_updated_at":"2017-05-10","cover_type":null,"availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":1161,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":218117,"url":"https://v2.bibliography.gr/books/epigrafes-katw-makedonias-efa58338-15f8-42a5-bf06-c02fccc57f25.json"},{"id":243587,"title":"\"Autonomous\" Coinages under the Late Antigonids","subtitle":null,"description":"Η μονογραφία \"The ‘Autonomous’ Coinages under the Late Antigonids\" αποτελεί μια συστηματική μελέτη των αργυρών και χαλκών νομισματικών εκδόσεων στο όνομα Μακεδόνων, των Βοττεατών και των Αμφαξίων, λαών που κατοικούσαν σε διακριτές περιοχές του Μακεδονικού βασιλείου, τις λεγόμενες μερίδες.

By their very nature, excavation coins are unselected. Almost all are made of bronze, a metal that readily corrodes when buried in the ground. Apart from any damage by corrosion, many are heavily worn or broken. Because they were often lost and have been recovered in huge numbers, they can be extremely repetitive. And yet, while this might make them tedious from a museum or connoisseur's point of view, for the ancient historian the very quantity of such data is a rare blessing. Their abundance and the even more important criterion of provenience -the circumstance that every excavated coin was used at a particular site and so is tied in some way to the site's imperfectly known history- make these coins an invaluable documentary source for the history of the habitation in question.\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, despite a century and a half of extensive archaeological activity in Greece, it is disappointing how few of the country's excavations have produced published numismatic reports. A recent survey of Greek coins found in archaeological excavations lists only nine ancient cities and sanctuaries in Greece for which there exists a published account of excavated coins. Moreover, all but one of these records pertain to excavations that were run by foreign archaeologists and published by foreign scholars. The shining exception was Zone, a little known urban site on the Aegean coast of Thrace that was excavated under the auspices of the Greek Archaeological Society and whose coins were summarily listed and reviewed in a 1996 article by Mina Galani-Krikou. A third of these 2.229 coins are the critically important coins of Zone that made possible the site's very identification.\u003cbr\u003eIn the present volume Selene Psoma of the Research Centre for Greek and Roman Antiquity (National Hellenic Research Foundation), Chryssa Karadima and Domna Terzopoulou of the XIX Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities (Ministry of Culture) now give us not only a welcome second publication of site coins excavated in Aegean Thrace but one in extended monograph form with commentaries and full attention to numismatic detail. Notably, the study treats the coins from two sites, one that has long been recognized as Maroneia, the other a previously unidentified city site on Cape Molyvoti.

Despite the problems the sea posed for communications and everyday life, human settlement and organization are well attested from earliest times. Moreover, some extremely important cultures took shape in the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. The cultures of the Cycladic islanders, the Minoans and the Therans, were followed by the Egyptians and the Phoenicians. Strong cities and mighty hegemonies arose, such as Euboea, Athens, Macedonia, Thasos and Rhodes, while the Romans had to conquer the whole region in order to cross the sea securely and extend their power further east.\u003cbr\u003eAll these civilizations, with their close inter-connections and reciprocal influences, as well as their contacts with the world beyond, constituted a strong chain of culture that endured for many centuries. Difficulties created by the sea and the scatteredness of the islands, as well as by hostile incursions from the mainland, had little serious effect on the continuity of life and communication in the Aegean. The Romans, and later the Byzantines, having created an enormous imperium, dealt with the region as a whole. The idea of mare nostrum was eminently appropriate to the Aegean, before it spread to the entire Mediterranean. These waters were always regarded as a factor of unification rather than of separation by the people living on the islands or the shores, as borne out by their rich variety of relations, common reactions and policies.\u003cbr\u003eIn the restricted space of a volume we can only give some hints or glimpses at the immense circulation of ideas, people, goods, artefacts and coins that took place across Aegean waters in ancient times. That is why we chose not to concentrate on one subject or one chronological period, but to ask for contributions on a variety of subjects and from different periods, each shedding some light on the diverse aspects of life in the Archipelago.\u003cbr\u003eIt is our hope that \"Sailing in the Aegean\" will stimulate more intensive and specific studies, and that we shall have the opportunity to return to this subject in the future.\u003cbr\u003eWe take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to all who helped in preparing and printing this volume, as well as to those who have supported this publication in many ways.
