In the Hellenistic period, all matters that concerned coinage were regulated by laws and decrees, and all decisions that concerned coinage were taken by the issuing authority and could apply in the area of its own jurisdiction. Coinage was a financial instrument par excellence and could be issued by minting authorities that could guarantee its metal and value, with the aim of serving their needs—whether of the community itself or imposed by others. Selene E. Psoma (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) will reveal how nomisma and nomos were linked and interconnected based on epigraphic, numismatic, and literary evidence.
