Requirements: .PDF reader, 7 mb
Overview: The Athenian Agora has been more or less continuously inhabited from prehistoric times until the present day. During the American excavations over 75,000 coins have been found, many dating as early as the 6th century B.c., when coins were first used in Athens. Much of this money is ancient and furnishes valuable evidence for reconstructing the life of the Greco-Roman city. The numismatic finds include, however, a considerable amount of material from the mediaeval and modem periods—coins of the Byzantine emperors, of the Frankish, Venetian, and Turkish conquerors, of modem Europe, and of Greece itself. These mediaeval and modem excavation coins provide a record of the kind of money used in the Athenian market place for some 1,650 years—from the early 4th century after Christ, when Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire, to today. The coins tell us a great deal about the commercial and political history of Athens throughout the centuries.
