While these inscriptions were published around the turn of the 20th century, their importance for understanding the finances of Hera's sanctuary at a crucial point in Argive history has not been appreciated. The inscriptions reveal that iaromnamones regularly froze Hera's wealth as dedications, suggesting an apprehension about maintaining a sacred treasury in cash. By situating the inscriptions in their Archaic context, this article offers a new paradigm for understanding magistrate dedications as a form of public accountability and highlights the institutional complexity of communal resources in the early Greek polis. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Hesperia is the property of American School of Classical Studies at Athens and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
