Economic Changes in the Early Hellenistic Kingdoms of Macedonia Economic Changes in the Early Hellenistic Kingdoms of Macedonia and Thrace By Dylan Townshend A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 by Dylan Townshend Abstract The end of the fourth century B.C. saw large-scale political overhauls with powerful monarchies replacing the former polis-centred Greek world. With these political changes came economic changes. Evidence around the Greek world at this time shows expanding number and shifting roles of market officials, the foundation of urban centres, and changes in land distribution. The kings, starting with Philip II, played significant roles in many of these developments. Macedon and Thrace, however, offer less evidence for such changes than other regions. New archaeological evidence, however, of amphoras produced near ancient Mende shows a clear difference between earlier practices of organizing amphora production and those practices from the late fourth century. The changes in amphora stamping show an increase in personal accountability and complexity of organization thereby providing substantial detail to the more general evidence for economic change Macedonia and the Chalkidike. i Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Mark Lawall for giving me the opportunity to write this thesis. His knowledge, guidance, and feedback have been invaluable for completing this work. I would also like to thank him for his patience throughout this process and for always encouraging me towards completion. My deepest gratitude also goes out to Dr. James Chlup and Dr. Erik Thomson, for their continued patience, support, and insight through the writing of this thesis. I express many thanks to Dr. Electra Anagnostopoulou-Chatzipolychroni, the director of the excavations at the Mende pottery workshops for inviting us to study the material there, and the Ephorate of Antiquities at Thessaloniki of the Greek Ministry for Culture and Sport for granting permission to carry out this research. Also many thanks to Dr. John Camp, the Director of the Agora excavations, and Sylvie Dumont, the Registrar of the Agora excavations, for providing access to excavation materials. And thank-you to Dr. Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan for access to the Virginia Grace papers in the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This thesis would not have been possible without the funding received by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the support of funding from the Department of Classics and the Faculty of Arts. Finally I would like to thank my parents and my entire family for their support and encouragement throughout my years of study and the writing of this thesis. I could not have completed this without their support. ii Abstract ................................................................................................................................... i Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................. ii List of Tables .......................................................................................................................... iv Chapter 1: Introduction ....................................................................................................... 1 1) History of Research ............................................................................................... 2 2) The Thesis ............................................................................................................. 6 Chapter 2: Early Hellenistic Economies: Kings and Cities .............................................. 10 1) Sources and Evidence ........................................................................................... 11 a.

Rostovtzeff assumes that there was economic change based on his examination of the Ptolemaic and Seleukid kingdoms during this period, but it is clear that this change could not be seen in the Macedonia. Less than fifty years before the period discussed by Rostovtzeff, Philip II (r. 359-336 B.C.) oversaw significant changes to Macedonia, which have even been considered ‘revolutionary’.2 These included social and economic changes both as direct intervention and as a consequence of broader political changes. The expansion by Alexander III (r. 336-323 B.C.) across the Achaemenid Empire saw the interaction of multiple cultures, with the spread of Greeks and Greek culture eastwards led by the Macedonian dynasties created after Alexander’s death in 323 B.C. This thesis seeks the “trustworthy evidence” that Rostovtzeff is concerned with when examining the other Successor kingdoms: literature, inscriptions, and archaeology. Scholarship of Macedonia and Thrace in all of these fields was lacking at the time Rostovtzeff was writing, but this thesis will use the abundance of new evidence from these fields to prove that there were economic changes in Macedonia and Thrace during the Early Hellenistic period. 1 Rostovtzeff 1941, p. 250. 2 Hammond 1989, p. 153. For Philip II’s reign: Hammond and Griffith, 1979; Gabriel 2010; Anson 2014. 1 1) History of Research Rostovtzeff covers the economies of the Ptolemies and Seleukids in almost 300 pages.3 The economic situation of the Macedonian and neighbouring Thracian kingdoms of Kassander, Lysimachos, and even the later Antigonids, however, is covered in a mere five pages.4 He admits that there is little evidence at the time from which to draw, although he also concludes that there were no changes in this region. It was “a country of tribal, almost feudal, structure, under a king who owned large domains in Macedonia proper”.5 His work, one of the earliest to incorporate archaeological

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

Epigtoaphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 1996 (EBGR 1996) The ninth issue of the BEGR contains only part of the epigraphie harvest of 1996; unforeseen circumstances have prevented me and my collaborators from covering all the publications of 1996, but we hope to close the gaps next year. We have also made several additions to previous issues. In the past years the BEGR had often summarized publications which were not primarily of epigraphie nature, thus tending to expand into an unavoidably incomplete bibliography of Greek religion. From this issue on we return to the original scope of this bulletin, whieh is to provide information on new epigraphie finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, epigraphieal corpora, and studies based p;imarily on the epigraphie material. Only if we focus on these types of books and articles, will we be able to present the newpublications without delays and, hopefully, without too many omissions.

  • Ideals and Pragmatism in Greek Military Thought 490-338 Bc
    Roel Konijnendijk IDEALS AND PRAGMATISM IN GREEK MILITARY THOUGHT 490-338 BC PhD Thesis – Ancient History – UCL I, Roel Konijnendijk, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the principles that defined the military thinking of the Classical Greek city-states. Its focus is on tactical thought: Greek conceptions of the means, methods, and purpose of engaging the enemy in battle. Through an analysis of historical accounts of battles and campaigns, accompanied by a parallel study of surviving military treatises from the period, it draws a new picture of the tactical options that were available, and of the ideals that lay behind them. It has long been argued that Greek tactics were deliberately primitive, restricted by conventions that prescribed the correct way to fight a battle and limited the extent to which victory could be exploited. Recent reinterpretations of the nature of Greek warfare cast doubt on this view, prompting a reassessment of tactical thought – a subject that revisionist scholars have not yet treated in detail. This study shows that practically all the assumptions of the traditional model are wrong. Tactical thought was constrained chiefly by the extreme vulnerability of the hoplite phalanx, its total lack of training, and the general’s limited capacity for command and control on the battlefield. Greek commanders, however, did not let any moral rules get in the way of possible solutions to these problems. Battle was meant to create an opportunity for the wholesale destruction of the enemy, and any available means were deployed towards that goal.

  • Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) P.105
    SHAPIRO, H. A., Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) p.105 Amazons, Thracians, and Scythians H A. Shapiro HE AMAZONS offer a remarkable example of the lacunose and T fragmented state of ancient evidence for many Greek myths. For while we hear virtually nothing about them in extant litera­ ture before the mid-fifth century, they are depicted in art starting in the late eighth! and are extremely popular, especially in Attica, from the first half of the sixth. Thus all we know about the Greeks' con­ ception of the Amazons in the archaic period comes from visual rep­ resentations, not from written sources, and it would be hazardous to assume that various 'facts' and details supplied by later writers were familiar to the sixth-century Greek. The problem of locating the Amazons is a good case in point. Most scholars assume that Herakles' battle with the Amazons, so popular on Attic vases, took place at the Amazon city Themiskyra in Asia Minor, on the river Thermodon near the Black Sea, where most ancient writers place it.2 But the earliest of these is Apollodoros (2.5.9), and, as I shall argue, alternate traditions locating the Ama­ zons elsewhere may have been known to the archaic vase-painter and viewer. An encounter with Amazons figures among the exploits of three important Greek heroes, and each story entered the Attic vase­ painters' repertoire at a different time in the course of the sixth century. First came Herakles' battle to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte (although the prize itself is never shown), his ninth labor.

    International Symposium Thrace – local coinage and regional identity: Numismatic research in the digital age Berlin, April 15th to 17th, 2015 Ceremonial Address Johannes Nollé (München, DAI, Kommission für Alte Geschichte und Epigra- phik) Die Thraker — Spurensuche nach einem verschollenen Volk Weitaus stärker als die Kelten sind die Thraker aus dem kulturellen Gedächtnis Europas geschwunden. Obwohl sie einst die Geschichte und Kultur unseres Kontinents wie auch Klein- asiens nachdrücklich geprägt haben, bringt heute fast niemand mehr dieses Volk mit Orpheus, Troja, Athen und Byzantion in Verbindung. Leicht gerät in Vergessenheit, dass Archilochos, Kimon und Thukydides Halbthraker waren, und dass in vielen Orten des Imperium Romanum thrakische Militäreinheiten standen. Im Hohen Mittelalter wusste man beinahe nichts mehr von den Thrakern, so dass der Konstantinsbogen irrig als Thrakerbogen bezeichnet wurde. Schließ- lich hat der moderne Ausstellungsboom vor allem dem sehr einseitigen Bild von den goldbesitzenden und alkoholliebenden Fürsten der Thraker Vorschub geleistet. Papers Ulrike Peter (Berlin, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) Corpus Nummorum Thracorum — a research tool for Thracology and an example of digital numismatic collaboration With joint efforts the Berlin Münzkabinett and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities have developed and created a web portal for ancient Thracian coins. We started by entering the coins and plaster casts of the collections of the two institutions but of course there exist many more Thracian coins all over the world. That is why we also import coins from other public and private collections, naturally after having acquired the permission to do so. Furthermore we offer the opportunity for a direct data input into the portal.
