The silver mines of the ancient city-state of Athens were located in the south-east part of the Attic peninsula, in the hilly Lavrion district (50 km south-east of Athens). Classical literature and well preserved remnants of ancient mining and processing plants, testify to the scale of the industry and its importance for the rise of Athens to imperial power.

The ancient legislation about the licensing procedure, the assignment, the royalties and the everyday operation, as they are described by the ancient authors, is not inferior compared even to today’s most advanced legislation.

The field trip includes visits to mines (Lavrion Technological Cultural Park — to see some ancient and recent 19th-century tunnels and shafts); an ancient processing plant (tanks, washeries, etc.); and the Poseidon Temple at Cape Sounio.
