The Viking Age trade routes of Eastern Europe: interactions between Slavs, Vikings and Arabs

Description

This paper explored the archaeological, historical and iconographical evidence for the development of standardisation at early medieval marketplaces in the Viking Age along the trade routes of the Baltic and Eastern Europe. ‘Commodity money’ and ‘fiat money’, together with the standardisation of commodities and traded goods will be discussed in the wider context of the mechanisms of trade and exchange.
