Title

The finances of the armatoles: From livestock farming to the expansion of financial activities

Date

1 October 2021

Abstract

The presentation reviews the multiple but scattered published data, of varying documentary value, on the financial activities of the armatole captains, with additional material from unpublished files. The main task is to examine the expansion of the economic activities of the Rumeliot armatoles in the decades running up to the revolution and the financial strengthening of some captains who had the support of Ali Pasha. In this light we re-examine, on the one hand, the old view of Greek historiography on the plebeian status of the armatoles and, on the other, the issue of the confrontation of the power of the communities with the power of the armatoles.
