"Cohen embodies a role of traditional relevance in research on
classical antiquity, but one that is increasingly a rarity: he is a
'man of affairs' who brings his practical, professional experience
to bear on his historical research.... [He] has now given us a very
fine book on ancient banking, a work that has been well worth the
wait."---Thomas J. Figueira, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"[Cohen] possesses an impressive knowledge of the relevant
classical and modern literature as well as a close practical
acquaintance with contemporary banking, an unusual but fortuitous
set of qualifications. . . . Highly readable and contains a wealth
of interesting details on social conditions generally."---John R.
Love, American Historical Review
"A thoroughly documented and imaginatively argued book that will
mark a new stage in the study of Athenian banking."---David C.
Mirhady, Classical World
