Long Table 197. Funding Sulla’s Wars: Monetary Production in the Mediterranean Basin, 88-82 BCE

Описание к видео Long Table 197. Funding Sulla’s Wars: Monetary Production in the Mediterranean Basin, 88-82 BCE

In late 88 BCE, as the Social War continued and Rome remained in the hands of the Marian faction, Sulla was forced to flee Rome and abandon the army of 25,000 men that had been assigned to him for the campaign against Mithridates. Since Sulla was barred from benefiting from the production of the Roman mint, how did he pay for his army? Lucia Carbone (Andrew M. Burnett Associate Curator of Roman Numismatics) will provide a new look at the monetary production in the Eastern Mediterranean basin during the crucial years of the First Mithridatic War and its aftermath, using new data from SILVER and RRDP.
