Abstract

In the Hellenistic period the archival behaviour of the Greek poleis experienced an important increase, out of need for negotiating relationship with the kings and keeping the related documents. The essay focuses on the diverse categories of records generate by the royal administration and on their locations in the city archives, along with the related internal files and throughout the resultant chains of documents. Royal letters and ordonnances are investigated along with the city records of royal taxation or fiscal exemption, the documentary consequences of ruler cult and euergetic subscriptions of kings and queens, the calendar balancing and relationship with the royal bookkeeping. A last topic is the common behoof for the historical players to mantain the documents of a long-standing administrative relationship in the concerned area, as a legitimate precedent for the following governors.
