Abstract

This article revisits ‘the problem of Classical Ionia’, the long-persisting idea put forward by John Manuel Cook in 1961 that Ionia experienced regional economic impoverishment in the fifth century BCE. By looking comprehensively at the dataset of coinage available from fifth-century Ionia, this article argues that there is actually significant evidence for regional networking in Classical Ionia, and that various communities, even if not continually emitting new coinages at all points in the fifth century, adopted various strategies for maintaining their economic reach and extending their network of trading partners. Formal network analysis is applied to the coinage dataset, taking the shared weight standards to which communities minted their coins as indicative of participation in common economic networks. The network patterns are tested against two other patterns, specifically the distribution of fifth-century Chian and Samian amphoras, and the pattern of Ionian-coin-containing hoards from within and beyond Ionia. Together, these patterns strengthen the case for a high-level Ionian economic resilience, offering a radically different position to Cook and reaffirming that continuing economic networking was crucial to the activities of fifth-century Ionian states.
公元前五世纪爱奥尼亚的钱币网络
约翰-曼努埃尔-库克(John Manuel Cook)于 1961 年提出的 "古典爱奥尼亚问题 "由来已久,即爱奥尼亚在公元前五世纪经历了地区性经济贫困。通过全面研究五世纪爱奥尼亚的钱币数据集,本文认为,古典爱奥尼亚地区网络化的证据确凿,各个社区即使没有在五世纪的各个时期不断发行新钱币,也采取了各种策略来保持其经济影响力并扩展其贸易伙伴网络。我们对钱币数据集进行了正式的网络分析,将各社区铸造钱币所遵循的共同重量标准作为参与共同经济网络的指标。该网络模式与另外两种模式进行了检验,特别是五世纪基安和萨米安长颈鹿的分布,以及爱奥尼亚境内外含有爱奥尼亚钱币的囤积模式。这些模式共同加强了高层次的爱奥尼亚经济恢复力,提供了与库克完全不同的立场,并再次证实了持续的经济网络对五世纪爱奥尼亚国家的活动至关重要。
