L'économie de la Babylonie á l'époque hellénistique

Résumé éditeur

This book offers an accessible overview of the complex evidence for the economy of Lower Mesopotamia under Macedonian rule, as well as an in-depth historical study of one of the most richly documented areas of the Hellenistic world. It examines the fiscal stratagems of Alexander's ministers, the introduction of coinage in local transactions, Seleucid land policy, and the final disappearance of age-old temples in the wake of the Parthian conquest
