Naukratis - Trade in Archaic Greece (Hardcover)

This book comprises a significant contribution to our understanding of Graeco-Egyptian relations during the seventh and sixth centuries BC and also demonstrates that Polanyian economic theory can play an invaluable role in the ongoing debate about the concepts best employed to analyse the ancient Greek economy. Dr Moeller employs different approaches from archaeology, history, epigraphy, Egyptology, and comparative economic theory to create the first thorough account of the archaeology and archaic history of Naukratis.
