Description

Despite the interest that has been shown by classicists and assyriologists in the economy of Lower Mesopotamia throughout the two centuries of Macedonian rule over the region (331-129 B.C.), no synoptic study has up to now been published, despite the fact that abundant sources are to be had: several thousand cuneiform tablets continue to exist from this period, in addition to more than 25,000 Greek seals, to not mention the testimony of classical sources and wealthy numismatic and archaeological materials. This book aims to present an accessible synthesis of the topic, in the form of a regional study that takes into account all to be had sources in addition to the weight of Mesopotamia’s heritage. The reader will find not only clear overviews of complex questions (including the have an effect on of Alexander’s reign, the nature of Seleucid policy, the evolution of prices, and the development of banking) but also new research on issues such as the ‘Diadochi crisis’, the introduction of coinage, the evolution of the prebendary system, and the disappearance of local temples, shedding new light on the economy of one of the crucial richly documented parts of the Hellenistic World.
