Abstract

–. In his book on the origins of deposit banking, R. Bogaert concluded that there had been no banking activity in Babylonia. Since the 1990s, however, several Assyriological studies have invalidated these conclusions, and shown that such activities did indeed exist in Babylonia during the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods. The aim of this article is to present the results of these studies, in order to analyze the characteristics of this cuneiform dossier, the evolution of documented practices and the identity of the individuals who took part in these activities.
