Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The volume Strapped for Cash: Needy Soldiers, Reluctant Authorities. Studies on Military Payments in Greek and Roman Antiquity includes eight (8) studies focusing on the question of the payment of soldiers and mercenaries by the issuing authorities in Greek and Roman antiquity. The studies in the volume discuss the use of coinage in relation to the salaries of the troops, but also in relation to the daily needs of the soldiers, both in peacetime and during war operations. The scarcity of sources dealing with the payment of troops leads to interesting methodological approaches, the results of which illuminate aspects of the wider economic and military history. The volume examines the tripartite relationship of Money-Payment-Military activities, through a broad chronological and geographical spectrum covering the period from the Classical period to Roman Imperial times, starting from Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula and reaching to the East. The studies in the volume discuss the use of coinage in relation to the salaries of the troops, but also in relation to the daily needs of the soldiers, both in peacetime and during war operations. The scarcity of sources dealing with the payment of troops leads to interesting methodological approaches, the results of which illuminat Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This monograph presents the first comprehensive study of 1,759 silver and bronze coins minted by the kings of Idalion (161 coins) and Kition (1,598 coins) in Cyprus, spanning from the late 6th to the late 4th century BC. The largest corpus of these coins yet assembled - classified through a die study - is accompanied by a full metrological and typological analysis of all denominations issued under each king. A synthetic study follows, addressing weight variations, production volume, iconography, hoard evidence, overstrikes, and countermarks. The historical chapters contextualise the numismatic material in relation to ancient texts, inscriptions, and archaeological data, examining the numismatic policies of the kings from Persian to Macedonian control, culminating to the dissolution of the kingdom of Kition (and Idalion) by Ptolemy in 313/2 BC. They explore the origins of coinage, dynastic successions, key 5th-century episodes - including a first unsuccessful attack and then the conquest of Idalion by Ozibaal - the 4th-century acquisition and loss of Tamassos by Pumayyaton, and Kition's rivalry with Salamis. Six appendices enrich the study: additions to the gold coin corpus, reinterpretations of debated coinages, a study of weight standards, revised dynastic chronologies, and an analysis of Phoenician coin legends by Stevens Bernardin.

Quels sont les rois chypriotes qui ont frappé des monnaies en or ? Dans quels royaumes, quand et pourquoi ? D'où provient l'or ? Les émissions sont-elles régulières ? Quel est le rapport entre ces monnayages et l'histoire politique de Chypre ? Quelle est la place de ces monnaies dans la circulation monétaire de l'époque, quel est l'étalon monétaire utilisé et le taux de change entre le monnayage en or et celui en argent ? La réponse aux questions posées ci-dessous sera donnée à partir du corpus par coin des monnaies en or des rois de Chypre et à partir de leur métrologie et de leur composition métallique. Dans ce livre, où le témoignage des sources littéraires, épigraphiques et archéologiques est associé à celui des monnaies, la politique monétaire des rois chypriotes est analysée afin d'éclairer l'histoire de Chypre jusqu'à la fin des royaumes autonomes. ***************************************************** "" During the fourth century BC certain Cypriot kingdoms issued gold coinage. This is a remarkable phenomenon because the issue of coins in this metal was extremely rare before the gold staters of Philip II of Macedon, with the exception of the gold darics of the Great King of Persia. Which Cypriot kings issue gold coins? In which kingdoms? When and why? What are the sources of gold? Are these issues regular? What is the relation between these coinages and the political history of Cyprus? What is the role of the coinages in the coin circulation of the classical period and what is the weight standard and the exchange rates between gold and silver coinage? These are only some of the questions addressed in the present book, which focuses on the analysis of the monetary policy of the Cypriot kings through a corpus of their gold coinages organised by dies; it also discusses thoroughly the metrology and the metallurgical composition of these coinages. The literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources are related to the testimony of the coins, to illuminate the history of Cyprus down to the extinction of the autonomous kingdoms.
