Server Costs Fundraiser 2024
Illustration
This hoard contained 23 bars of gold, several bars of silver, rings, pieces of scrap, and a silver figurine. The pieces were cut for specific transactions or other reasons, but not to conform to a weight standard. In making payments, it was often not the actual metal that changed hands. Rather, agreed amounts or weights of metal were the units of account that were recorded. From El-Amarna, modern-day Egypt. 18th Dynasty, 13352-1336 BCE. (The British Museum, London).
