During the third and second centuries, the Delian community redefined the central place that the island had continually occupied in the economic, financial and cultural flows of the Mediterranean. This study, mainly based on epigraphic accounting sources, including more than five hundred accounts and engraved inventories that were displayed in the sanctuary of Apollo, but also on numismatic sources and archaeological remains on the seafront, re-considers the question of Delos' place in the Hellenistic economy. Far from being an exception to be excluded from serialized comparisons, the Delian evidence is indicative of Aegean economic circumstances and demonstrates the capacities of the Greek communities to adapt to change in troubled times. Behind the numbers cut in stone appear human communities and societies whose economic activities shed fresh light on the history of this part of the Mediterranean."--$cBack cover. 606 $aAccount books$zGreece$zDelos Island$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aAccountants$zGreece$zDelos Island$yTo 1500 606 $aInventories$zGreece$zDelos Island$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aInscriptions, Greek$zGreece$zDelos Island 606 $aNumismatics, Greek$zGreece$zDelos Island 607 $aDelos Island (Greece)$xCommerce$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aDelos Island (Greece)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aDelos Island (Greece)$xAntiquities 615 0$aAccount books$xHistory 615 0$aAccountants 615 0$aInventories$xHistory 615 0$aInscriptions, Greek 615 0$aNumismatics, Greek 700 $aChankowski$b Ve?ronique$f1971-$01767022 712 02$aJ.M.
