Of Darics, Staters, and Disks: Some Issues in Achaemenid

View through CrossRef
Abstract: This article deals with three coins. The first is the gold daric, a "monument" of Darius' royal self-presentation (if not quite an imperial currency). The second is the Athenian tetradrachm (strictly speaking the currency of someone else's empire) and its impact, perhaps in counterfeit form, at the first cataract of the Nile and in a remote oasis in the Western Desert. The third is a Cilician issue associated with Tiribazus that deserves more attention than it has generally received. All three cases raise questions about the relationship between designer, issuer, and individual coin that are directly relevant to the way coinage worked in Achaemenid imperial space and to any attempt to validate ps.-Aristotle's location of coinage entirely within the royal oikonomia . Abstract: Cet article traite de trois monnaies. La première est la darique d'or, un « monument » de l'autoprésentation royale de Darius (si elle n'est pas tout à fait une monnaie impériale). La deuxième est la tétradrachme athénienne (au sens strict, la monnaie d'un autre empire) et sa présence, possiblement sous forme contrefaite, jusqu'à la première cataracte du Nil et a une oasis dans le désert occidental. La troisième est une production cilicienne associée à Tiribaze qui mérite davantage d'attention qu'elle n'en a généralement reçu. Ces trois cas soulèvent tous des questions sur la relation entre créateur, producteur, et pièce individuelle, questions qui sont directement liées à la façon dont la monnaie fonctionnait dans l'espace impéerial achéménide. Elles sont ègalement pertinentes si l'on souhaite confirmer les dires du pseudo-Aristote, selon qui la monnaie était localisée entièrement à l'intérieur de l' oikonomia royale.
