Using a card system, Dewing noted a number of details about each coin immediately upon acquir- ing it: the supplier; year of acquisition; the price; and those particulars which he deemed important—such as whether it came from a hoard. For identification, he carefully out- lined each coin on the card. He numbered each new acquisition based on the page numbers of B. V. Head's Historia Numorum. If a new piece of the same or similar type was to be added, it received an A or a or a suffix. A more complicated system can hardly be imagined, but his cards had to serve him alone. And they did it well. When the Dewing Foundation, to whom the coins passed by bequest, decided to publish the collection, these cards proved surprisingly useful, facilitating the work of the authors in their task of providing all essential numismatic data for each coin. The Dewing assemblage of ancient Greek coins cannot easily be compared with other large collections of its kind. Sir Herman Weber amassed about twice the number of Dewing's holdings. But Weber and others gave full attention to the bronze issues which our collector chose to neglect entirely. Did his suppliers not have the stamina to break through his self-forged armor and inspire him to see the beauty and importance of Greek bronze coins? Jameson was drawn to the finest in art and state of preservation; Dewing, however, saw the history behind the coin and the unique accomplishment of each die. He collected the minors—the diminutive silver coins—long before they became fashion- able. At the same time he was literally fascinated by the great series of Syracusan silver coinage and in particular by the decadrachms which he went after in a fantastic if not fanatical way. Has any private collector before or after him acquired even half the number of Dewing's decadrachms? Great Greek coins which he owned, or knew of, were the life companions of a man who excelled as a scholar and businessman. When we first met by chance in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, he immediately pounced on me with his famous query: "Do you have an Aitna tetradrachm in your pocket?" Whereupon I replied, "Is the Brussels Aitna the coin of your dreams?" I saw a quick and piercing look in his eyes before he quietly nodded his bearded head. When, in fact, another unique coin of Aitna came our way, Dewing turned it down—it was different from his dream coin. Our sincere thanks go to Professor Dewing's daughters who made this publication pos- sible; to Kenton J. Ide of the Dewing Foundation; to all the authors; to the late Frances M. Schwartz who rendered invaluable help to the editors; to Robert J. Myers who photographed the coins; to Leslie A. Elam and his colleagues at the American Numismatic Society; and to the printer René de Meester. Leo Mildenberg Bank Leu Ltd.

As he often said, he was not a strong child, and his mother had to work hard to give him the best of an early education. He grew healthy through a devotion to the outdoors and the puritan virtues of his New England forebears. His three academic degrees were all earned at Harvard, A.B. in 1902, A.M. in 1903, and the Ph.D. in 1905. Like so many of his generation, he did further graduate study in Germany, at the Univer- sity of Munich. His teaching career was mainly at Harvard, from 1902 to 1913 in philos- ophy and from 1911 to 1933 in economics and finance. He rose to be a professor and one of the founders of the Harvard Business School. Arthur Dewing's family was the happiest. In 1910 he married a fellow philosopher, Frances Rousmaniere, and they are survived by three daughters (Mrs. Lloyd Morain, Mrs. Stuart Avery, Jr., and Mrs. James Ewing), many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. On April 16, 1970 Mr. Dewing's daughters gave him a big party for family and friends in the ancestral homestead on Waverly Avenue in Newton. Seated in an old leather arm- chair, two great-grandchildren at his knee, Arthur Dewing could have been easily taken for a patriarch of another age, the "Angel of Hadley," for instance. During the last 20 years of his life he liked to refer to himself as "Old Methuselah," and so he seemed on this oc- casion. It is often hard to separate fact from legend in the life of a great man, and so it was with Arthur Dewing, even in his lifetime. His vast and complex business enterprises occupied only part of his time from the Great Depression onwards. His concern for the antiquities of his native New England led him onto the boards of a number of worthy associations, notably the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, of which he was a president. His frugal habits, combined with his tall, spare, commanding presence, made him a walking advertisement for the Spartan life of bygone America wherever he went. Many years ago he and I went together from Stack's, the famous coin store then on West 46th Street in New York City, to the Automat around the corner on Fifth Avenue. "What will you have, sir," asked the man behind the hot dishes, as we pushed our trays along in the line. The reply came like Olympian thunder (and people at the tables nearby turned to look), "Why beans, of course, I'm from Boston!" Arthur Dewing's writings are classics. His Financial Policy of Corporations was first published in 1920 and has gone through many editions and revisions since that date. It is full of classical references, parts having been written or rewritten with the rolling hills above Aulis and the plain of Marathon fresh in mind. Mr. Dewing attributed his love of the classics to the inspired teaching of George Herbert Palmer at Harvard, the Hellenist whose Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:19 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015041891659 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 x Arthur Stone Dewing "wine-dark sea" translations of Homer were read in every school and college throughout the United States at least until the Lattimore translations of the 1950s and 1960s. Mr. Dewing's practical applications of the classics took the form not only of writing and travel in Hellenic lands but of social obligations and collecting. He was long a trustee of the Archaeological Institute of America, president of the Boston Society (the Institute's oldest chapter), a member of the Council of the American Numis- matic Society, and that wonderful organization's president during difficult years of re- organization between 1947 and 1949. During his earlier trips to Greece, Mr. Dewing began collecting Greek vases, Geometric urns, Corinthian aryballoi, and simple Attic lekythoi of the type one used to see in village shops or in the stores of Pandrosou Street ("Shoe Lane") in Athens. He added to the collection by purchasing important black-figure and red-figure Athenian vases of the sixth and fifth centuries B.C., the traditional pinnacle of Greek art, at auctions or from dealers in England and America.

  • 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.

  • Curriculum Back Up
    Thucydides and Euripides: The Changing Civic and Moral Values during the Peloponnesian War Mary Ann T. Natunewicz INTRODUCTION This unit is part of a two-semester course taken by tenth graders in the second half of the school year. The course is team-taught by an art teacher and by a language teacher, with one nine-week semester devoted to art and the other nine-week semester to Greek literature, mythology and history. The school is on an accelerated block schedule and the class meets every day for 90 minutes. Smaller sections of this unit could be used in the Ancient History part of a World History course or a literature course that included Greek tragedy. The unit described below is in the literature semester of the course. It has been preceded by a three-week unit on Greek mythology. It will be followed by two weeks spent reading other Greek drama. The approximate length of the unit is four weeks. DISCUSSION OF THE UNIT One of the most fascinating periods that can be studied is fifth century B.C. Greece. So much was happening–painting and sculpture were flowering, scientists and philosophers were speculating on the nature of the universe, playwrights vied with one another in the dramatic contests, storytellers and poets were in demand, citizens were actively involved in running many states and historians were grappling with the significance of both ancient and current events. But what happens when a world war envelops this flourishing culture? What changes occur in individuals and in states? The general aim of this curriculum is to examine the view of late fifth century B.C.
