8. Livy and the date of the introduction of the cistophoric tetradrachma

Abstract

Numismatic evidence has given credence to Livy's accounts that victorious imperators returning from Asia Minor from 190 to 187 B.C. had amassed silver tetradrachmae called cistophori in the Roman treasury. His reports have been questioned for historical inconsistencies on the basis of coinage dating, cistophori countermarks and of the coins' rare use outside the conquered territories. Historical evidence, however, gives credence to Livy's contention that the cistophori were introduced in 190 B.C. and that various currencies circulated in the Greek world in that period as a result of Roman victories.
