Synopsis
This book is a meticulous exploration of the ancient Greek coinage of Asia Minor. It delves into a fascinating and complex world of ancient cities, empires, and cultures. The author, an expert in numismatics, meticulously catalogs and analyzes thousands of coins, each a tiny window into the past. The book is organized geographically, leading the reader through a journey across Phrygia, Lycia, Pamphylia, Pisidia, Cilicia, Cyprus, Galatia, Syria, Phoenicia, Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia, Persia, Characene, Bactria, Egypt, Cyrenaica, Libya, Zeugitana, the Islands Between Africa and Sicily, Numidia, and Mauritania. Each region is examined in detail, with descriptions of its history, geography, and its unique coin types. From the archaic coins of the early Greek cities to the imperial issues of the Roman emperors, the book reveals the story of ancient Asia Minor through the lens of its coinage. The author masterfully connects the artistic, religious, and political themes represented on these coins with the wider historical context of the region. He brings the ancient world alive, allowing readers to appreciate the cultural significance of the coins beyond their monetary value. This comprehensive and authoritative work will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in ancient coinage, the history of Asia Minor, or the rich tapestry of ancient Greek and Roman civilization.
