The Acceptance of Coins by Foreign States and the Question of Imitations

Sophia Kremydi Institute of Historical Research, National Hellenic Research Foundation

Séminaire hybride / Υβριδικό σεμινάριο  / Hybrid seminar

 

Ancient Epigraphic Sources determine that, with few exceptions, civic issues were accepted only within the territory of the state that issued them. However, coins travelled, and the patterns of their movement changed throughout the centuries. Furthermore, coin types could be imitated by other issuing authorities, indicating that the originals must have been used for payments. This, somewhat contradictory, evidence shall be discussed through specific examples.

En collaboration avec l’École belge d’Athènes, l’Université d’Athènes et la Fondation Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (EIE-IIE/TEPA).
Σε συνεργασία με τη Βελγική Σχολή Αθηνών, το Εθνικό και Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών και το Εθνικό Ίδρυμα Ερευνών (EIE-IIE/TEPA).
