Prihvaćeno: 23. 5. 2017. U ovom se članku ispituju dokazi o trgovini aten- skom keramikom s motrišta arhetipskog atenskog aristokrata, točnije, vlasnika zaprege konja za utrke dvokolica. Platonovu izreku “u svakome gradu posto- je dva grada: bogati i siromašni” (Rp. 422e) uporno smeću s uma oni koji jednu drahmu dnevno uzimaju kao standard prema kojemu se mogla mjeriti potroš- nja. Vlasnik konjske zaprege pripadao je jednom po- sve drugom dohodovnom razredu i kretao se u krugo- vima gdje je jedna drahma predstavljala beznačajnu svotu i gdje se vrijednost stavki poput dragog kame- nja, paunova, kuća, robova, ostavina, miraza iskazi- vala u minama (minae - jedinice od 100 drahmi).

Plato’s dictum ‘In every city there are two cities: the rich and the poor’ (Rp. 422e) has been consistently overlooked by those who take the igure of a drachma a day as the standard by which consumption might be measured. The owner of char- iot horses will have been in another income bracket altogether, moving in circles where a drachma might be a triling sum and where items such as gem stones, peacocks, houses, slaves, inheritances, dowries, were priced in minae (units of 100 drachmas). Prices of horses were expressed in minae, although some thor-
