A Reassessment Of Athenian Tribute, Christine Bannan '14

College Honors Program

The marble stones which serve as the primary evidence of the Athenian Tribute Quota Lists are difficult to work with because they are so fragmentary, and because their contents are multidimensional. A newly conceived digital edition addresses issues inherent in the print medium, which has long served as the basis for scholarship on the lists. This paper is meant as a guide to understanding the Athenian Tribute Quota Lists, the principles I have defined for work on this edition, and a guide to the future study of Athenian imperial tribute.

I have created a diplomatic edition which incorporates original photography …

Why Did The Greek "Polis" Originally Need Coins?, Thomas R. Martin

Classics Department Faculty Scholarship

Why did the ancient Greek polis originally need coins? This question, so simple to pose and so difficult to answer, leads to more specific queries such as what practical purposes coins served in the polis and what messages they communicated either explicitly through their types and legends or implicitly by their very creation as products of the political community of the polis.

Hippocratic Pharmacology: Investigations Into The Theoretical Assumptions And Function Of Drug Therapy In The Corpus Hippocraticum, Edward G. Soltesz '94

Fenwick Scholar Program

The topic of this thesis is Hippocratic Pharmacology. While I intended to examine drugs and their efficacy in therapeutics, I soon realized the gravity of this undertaking: John Riddle and John Scarborough have been working on this for decades; my year's work would accomplish little. Instead, I found that work needed to be done in investigating the theoretical assumptions which the Corpus authors held about drug use: how did they believe these medicines worked? What were their underlying concepts? The methodological difficulty in answering these questions is evident at once. I decided to pursue this topic in two ways: first, …

Sulla Imperator Iterum : The Samnites And Roman Republican Coin Propaganda, Thomas R. Martin

Classics Department Faculty Scholarship

A large number of inscriptions surviving from the late Roman Republic testify to the abiding interest that public figures of the time had in publicizing themselves. By proclaiming their own achievements and those of their families in inscribed texts, displayed as conspicuously as possible, Romans with ambitions could create the kind of personal publicity which apparently helped to advance their status and careers. The most conspicuous publicity was generated by inscriptions placed on public monuments; the most widely circulated publicity, however, was generated by the inscriptions and small relief sculptures which appeared on coins. Since people at all levels of …

Sovereignty And Coinage In Classical Greece, Thomas R. Martin

Holy Cross Bookshelf

This book examines the common assumption that coins were produced in classical Greece to serve as symbols of the political sovereignty of the state, much like flags of modern nations. Since the beginning of modern numismatics studies, scholars have used this assumption to establish the chronology of numerous Greek coinages and, in turn, to make hypotheses about important historical events, especially the intervention in Greek affairs of Philip II, Alexander the Great, and their early successors.

The author challenges the standard opinion , refuting the notion that a conquered state automatically lost its "right of coinage" and establishing that the …
