Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins in the Museum at Amasya (Ancient Amaseia), Turkey (BIAA Monographs) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The rich numismatic collections of Turkish provincial museums are still relatively unknown and this volume presents for the first time the coinage in the museum of Amasya, which, under its ancient name of Amaseia, was one of the major centres of north-east Anatolia. In the Hellenistic period it was capital of the powerful kingdom of Pontus, while under the Roman empire it boasted the title of `Metropolis and First City' of its province. Over 4,500 coins held in the museum are catalogued, ranging in date from the 5th century BC until the 11th century AD. Most are finds from the surrounding region, so that there are rich holdings from the mints of Amaseia, Amisus, Sinope and Cappadcian Caesarea; but over 50 other mints in Asia Minor are represented and some coins come from as far afield as Alexandria in Egypt and Arles in Gaul.

Review
[Its] cardinal virtues are systematic method and detailed descriptions. The book is very well produced and will surely serve for a long time.' (Antiquity, 75, 2001)
This volume is a heroic piece of work. The author (and his wife) have spent four (hot) summers visiting the Museum at Amasya patiently and painstakingly cataloguing its holdings of Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins. This volume is the result. ... The author states his aim as being to provide researchers with the material both for further investigation of the coins within the Amasya Museum itself, and for comparison with catalogues of other museums which are now being prepared. In this he has succeeded admirably.' (Andrew Meadows Bibliotheca Orientalis, 58, 2001)
