It will be a basic text for all concerned with the Athenian empire and its economy well into the new century."" ― Mabel L. Lang Bryn Mawr College<br><br>""The Power of Money is potentially the most significant work on the Athenian Empire written in many years. . . . Quite simply the current understanding of Athens' economic relations with her allies will have to be totally reconsidered as a result of Figueira's work."" ― Stanley Burstein California State University Los Angeles<br><br>""The Power of Money is a major contribution to the scholarship of classical Greece. . . . It will be cited and used with approval in all serious future acounts of fifth-century political history. It will also occupy an important place in the scholarship on ancient coinage and economics. It is masterful scholarship all around on both the technical and conceptual levels."" ― John H. Kroll The University of Texas<br><br>""A work of immense learning."" ― Harold B.
