The author argues that coinage in Greece developed independently of, but in parallel with, the use of coinage in Asia Minor, which was backed by the power of successive empires. This process of the development of coinage is considered through the lens of archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and philology, allowing the author to reconstruct the historical, political, and economic context that gave rise to an independent Greek coinage. The author concludes that the adoption of coinage was a transformative development that had profound implications for the development of the Greek economy, as it facilitated trade and strengthened the power of Greek city-states.
