#BronzeAge artifacts from the University of Cincinnati’s #ArchaeologicalExcavations in #Greece will go on display in North America for the first time this month at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
“The Kingdom of Pylos: Warrior-Princes of #AncientGreece” features more than 230 artifacts from the Mycenaean civilization. The #museum highlights the tomb of a #Mycenaean leader who lived around 1450 BCE.

While working on the basic moves of my #pbta #ttrpg I hit a wall cause I needed to know how to calculate in-world costs...

So I spent two days researching #Mycenaean economics and #Homeric gift-giving in order to then write a two page guide for Land of Myth: Age of Palaces

I've been working on the #Homeric moves for my #pbta #ttrpg

It led me down a fascinating rabbit hole about money in #Mycenaean Greece.

I'd done some reading before, but I just found a very nice article* and took a nice dive into Linear B tablets from the palace of Pylos and the commodities used in the Late #BronzeAge exchange economy.
