Convergeant avec les sources littéraires et archéologiques, ces textes épigraphiques… Read More

Princeton University Press. Very Good. 1999. Softcover. 0691007365 . Minor edgewear to wraps. ; The invention of coinage in ancient Greece provided an arena in which rival political groups struggled to imprint their views on the world. Here Leslie Kurke analyzes the ideological functions of Greek coinage as one of a number of symbolic practices that arise for the first time in the archaic period. By linking the imagery of metals and coinage to stories about oracles, prostitutes, Eastern tyrants, counterfeiting, retail trade, and games, she traces the rising egalitarian ideology of the polis, as well as the ongoing resistance of an elitist tradition to that development. The argument thus aims to contribute to a Greek "history of ideologies," to chart the ways ideological contestation works through concrete discourses and practices long before the emergence of explicit political theory. ; 9.0 X 6.0 X 1.1 inches; 408 pages .
