This book was released on 2011 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La acuñación de moneda es, junto con la escritura, uno de los grandes inventos de la historia de la humanidad. La escritura ha sido esencial en la transmisión de ideas y conocimientos a través del tiempo y el dinero ha jugado un papel muy importante en la fermentación de la evolución política y social de los grupos humanos. Muy pocas cosas han condicionado la economía de manera más directa que la moneda , con sus efectos concomitantes sobre las ideologías políticas de nuestro universo.. Hemos confirmado que nunca la invención del dinero supuso una evolución lineal de proto-monetaria a la economía monetaria y también que no se llevó a cabo al mismo ritmo en los diferentes espacios culturales del Mediterráneo. Esta es una de las conclusiones más importantes de nuestra conferencia. Desde la invención de la moneda en Lidia, al final del siglo 7 aC, a la monetización de los hispanos del norte-oeste, o del interior de la Galia y Germania en la época de Augusto, 600 años que abarca toda una cadena de acontecimientos históricos importantes tuvo que pasar a la monetización de ser aceptados en las economías sociales, culturales y políticas, ya que el uso del dinero, tal vez no en su origen, pero definitivamente después, ayudó a los polis en sus intentos de equilibrar el equilibrio social. De hecho, 200 años después que se inventara el dinero, Aristóteles seguía filosofando sobre esto, y escribió sobre las relaciones de intercambio entre las comunidades el derecho a la reciprocidad que mantiene la sociedad civil, sobre la base de la proporción y no en la igualdad ... es el objeto que marca una justicia equitativa y que se da expresamente la no misma palabra, que significa "lo que se debe", "lo que es proporcional", "la medida correcta".

Book Synopsis The Origins of Money in the Iron Age Mediterranean World by : Elon D. Heymans
Download or read book The Origins of Money in the Iron Age Mediterranean World written by Elon D. Heymans and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Color versions of select print images available on the Resources tab (or here: www.cambridge.org/heymans). This book shows how money emerged and spread in the eastern Mediterranean, centuries before the invention of coinage. While the invention of coinage in Ancient Lydia around 630 BCE is widely regarded as one of the defining innovations of the ancient world, money itself was never invented. It gained critical weight in the Iron Age (ca. 1200 – 600 BCE) as a social and economic tool, most dominantly in the form of precious metal bullion. This book is the first study to comprehensively engage with the early history of money in the Iron Age Mediterranean, tracing its development in the Levant and the Aegean. Building on a detailed study of precious metal hoards, Elon D. Heymans deploys a wide range of sources, both textual and material, to rethink money's role and origins in the history of the eastern Mediterranean.

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity by : Bloomsbury Publishing
Download or read book A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity written by Bloomsbury Publishing and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the modern, Western concept of money can be traced back to the earliest electrum coins that were produced in Asia Minor in the seventh century BCE. While other forms of currency (shells, jewelry, silver ingots) were in widespread use long before this, the introduction of coinage aided and accelerated momentous economic, political, and social developments such as long-distance trade, wealth creation (and the social differentiation that followed from that), and the financing of military and political power. Coinage, though adopted inconsistently across different ancient societies, became a significant marker of identity and became embedded in practices of religion and superstition. And this period also witnessed the emergence of the problems of money - inflation, monetary instability, and the breakup of monetary unions - which have surfaced repeatedly in succeeding centuries. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of technologies, ideas, ritual and religion, the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the issues of the age.
Download or read book The Open Sea written by J. G. Manning and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Open Sea, J. G. Manning offers a major new history of economic life in the Mediterranean world in the Iron Age, from Phoenician trading down to the Hellenistic era and the beginning of Rome's imperial supremacy. Drawing on a wide range of ancient sources and the latest social theory, Manning suggests that a search for an illusory single "ancient economy" has obscured the diversity of lived experience in the Mediterranean world, including both changes in political economies over time and differences in cultural conceptions of property and money. At the same time, he shows how the region's economies became increasingly interconnected during this period." -- Publisher's description
Book Synopsis Currency and Exchange in Ancient Pompeii by : Richard Hobbs
Download or read book Currency and Exchange in Ancient Pompeii written by Richard Hobbs and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currency & exchange in ancient Pompeii examines how coinage became a key component of the economic life of the town from the third century BC to the dramatic destruction of Pompeii by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. The study discusses one of the largest assemblages of coins found so far from below the layer of destruction of AD 79. Over 1,500 coins were found during a ten-year campaign of excavation of Regio VI, Insula 1 by the Anglo-American Project in Pompeii (AAPP). Currency & exchange in ancient Pompeii looks at the range of coins found, from mints across the Mediterranean, reflecting Pompeii's wide-ranging trade connections, in particular, Ebusus, Massalia, and Rome, and the development of local imitations, many unique to Pompeii. The book reviews other evidence for Pompeii's economic life, such as the price of goods and services, the activities of bankers and money-lenders, and the 'live' coinage left behind by those fleeing the volcano. A full catalogue of the AAPP assemblage and the 'Bathhouse hoard' is included, with illustrations of many of the coins. The book is an invaluable resource for all interested in Pompeii, its economy, and the everyday life of its 'small change'.
Book Synopsis Money, Coinage and Colonialism by : Nanouschka Myrberg Burström
Download or read book Money, Coinage and Colonialism written by Nanouschka Myrberg Burström and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores coinage and related object types as an important form of material culture that is crucial to interrogating interactions between coloniser and colonised. Money, Coinage and Colonialism is a much overdue treatment of coinage and money in debates around ancient and recent colonial practices. It argues that coinage offers unique opportunities to study interactions and effects of the meeting between colonisers and colonised, as well as the economic, political and ideological interactions between colonial communities and the state of origin. It is argued that the study of coins and other means of exchange may reveal less apparent and under-communicated processes, values and discourses in the study of colonial environments and projects, with commonalities informing a larger "global history" approach. A broad picture is built from numerous case studies, spanning from Classical Greek colonies to European colonial enterprises of the Modern period, exploring colonial histories, settings, ideology and resistance. Particular attention is paid to the role of coins in identity construction; to ambiguity, hybridity and creolisation of monetary objects in colonial contexts; and to specific uses of coins that tell of violence, oppression and resistance as well as of networks, acculturation and globalisation. Composed of chronologically broad and diverse case studies from colonial contexts, this book is for researchers in colonial and post-colonial archaeology as well as archaeological and cultural-historical numismatics.
