The political history of his rule is at the centre of the research of the first one, and the history of his coinage of the latter. On the other hand, much less attention is paid to the fiscal and prestigious-symbolic contexts of the circulation of bullion, which at the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries consisted almost exclusively of imported coins and silver in a non-monetary form, mainly jewellery. This raises many questions: how did access to luxury goods affected the exercise of power? What equivalents and under what circumstances were foreign coins purchased? How did the desire to take control of the silver distribution networks between Meissen, Prague and Kiev in the first decades of the 11th century directed Bolesław’s expansion? Methodologically, the article combines the analysis of the hoards with the interpretation of written sources.}, type={Article}, title={Symbolische Kommunikation, transkontinentale Handelsnetzwerke, Raubökonomie: Kontexte und Konstellationen der Silberzirkulation und -redistribution zu Zeiten Bolesławs des Tapferen}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/123940/PDF-MASTER/2022-01-WNUM-06-Adamczyk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/wn.2022.141937}, keywords={coins, jewellery, expansion of early states}, }
