Symbola in Perception and Practice -- II. New Finds, Embarking on Modern Interpretations -- III. Athenian Tokens in the Aftermath of the Classical Period -- IV. Comparative Studies. 330 $aA selection of essays on symbola, as the tokens of Classical Athens were called, bringing together scholars of various disciplines and professional categories (numismatists, historians, museum curators) that intends to reshape our knowledge on the roles these objects played in the Athenian Democracy. This is a series of case studies which aspires to test old theories and probe new assumptions. The first section explores the extent to which our knowledge has evolved since symbola were first distinguished from coins. Four essays demonstrate how tokens, as material manifestations of particular institutions, contributed to the formation of civic and political identity in the city-state of Athens and the roles they played in ensuring legal and political equality. The second section of the volume on new finds aims to develop expertise in studying tokens and increase relevant knowledge. Finally, a third section contains comparative studies from Sicily, Jerusalem and Ephesos, aiming to adopt a comparative methodology for a better understanding of the characteristics and roles of tokens from across the ancient Mediterranean. 410 0$aLiverpool Studies in Ancient History Series 606 $aAntiquities 610 00$alead 610 00$asymbola 610 00$ademe 610 00$acouncil five hundred 610 00$anumismatics 610 00$aclassical archaeology 615 0$aAntiquities. 676 $a737.309385 700 $aGkikaki$b Mairi$01732192 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741096403321 996 $aTokens in Classical Athens and Beyond$94146121 997 $aUNINA
