The Latest Addition to the Classical Numismatic Studies Series


Benner, Steve M., Ph.D. Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. [Classical Numismatic Studies No. 7]. Lancaster, PA and London, U.K., 2008. Hardbound with dust jacket. Contains viii + 188 pp., including concordances and indices. (GR) (GR326) $65

The coinage of the Achaean League constitutes one of the final independent series in mainland Greece prior to the Roman takeover in 146 BC. As such, its issues reflect the League’s religious origin and democratic composition. Until now, Clerk’s Catalogue of the Coins of the Achaean League, published in 1895, and Thompson’s 1968 The Agrinion Hoard [ANSNNM 159] constituted the sole specialized studies of the silver issues. Warren’s recent The Bronze Coinage of the Achaian Koinon: The Currency of a Federal Ideal [Royal Numismatic Society Special Publication 42], while an important die study for the bronze coinage of the Achaian League, may prove daunting for the general collector. Steve Benner’s Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. offers a systematic overview of the silver and bronze issus of the coinage of the Achaian League that will be useful for the general collector as well as the specialist.

The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 provides a brief historical overview of the Achaian League from its earliest incarnation to its reconstitution in the third century BC down to its end in 146 BC. Part 2 introduces the Achaian League coinage, discussing issuing cities, chronology of issues, as well as brief excurses on points of typology and metrology. This section concludes with tables of issuing magistrates’ names and monograms present on the coinage. Parts 3 and 4 comprise the catalog of issues. Here, each entry provides all the salient information in a tabular format and is cross-referenced to Clerk, Warren, and BCD Peloponnesus (LHS 96). Appendices provide a quick reference for attribution of both the silver and bronze coins, as well as concordances to the major references. The book is supplemented with a bibliography, list of pertinent abbreviations, and is well-illustrated throughout. Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. will be a useful inclusion into the library of any collector with an interest in the coinage of the Achaian League, the Peloponnesus, or Ancient Greece in general.

Important New Volume in the Roman Imperial Coinage Series


Carradice, Ian, and Theodore V. Buttrey. The Roman Imperial Coinage. Volume II, Part 1: From AD 69 to AD 96, Vespasian to Domitian, Second Fully Revised Edition. 2008. Hardbound with dust jacket, xxiv + 404 pp., illustrated with 160 plates of coins. (RI) (R257) $185

First published in 1926, this volume in the RIC series originally covered the period from AD 69-138. Since that time, the discovery of new types and a reassessment of the complex minting practices of the Flavian Dynasty (AD 69-96), not only required a revision of that volume, but necessitated publishing a separate volume for that period alone. Following the format of the similar volume in BMCRE, the editors have provided a general introduction as well as more detailed introductions to the coinage of each reign than that found in the original RIC II volume. Each excursus provides informative commentary on mints and significant aspects of this important coinage, culminating in a thorough overview of Flavian coinage in general. This edition includes a number of heretofore unknown and unpublished varieties as well as the removal of many unverified or dubious types. The product of long and careful scholarship, this volume provides numismatists and collectors, historians, and archaeologists with a current and detailed source of information on the coinage of this important dynasty.

Gold Coins of the World, 50th Anniversary, 8th ed.

Available in May – Now Taking Advanced Orders


Friedberg, Arthur and Ira. Gold Coins of the World, 50th Anniversary, 8th ed. Clifton, NJ, 2009. Hardbound. Contains 800 pp., including illustrations of types and indices. (GR, OG, CA, RR, RI, BY, EM, IS, WO, BR) (X255) $85

The eighth edition of Gold Coins of the World, by Arthur and Ira Friedberg, based on the original work by the late Robert Friedberg, shows that even more remarkable than the rise in the gold price is the dramatic and unparalleled increase in the value of numismatic gold coins. Collectors now realize the relative rarity of coins compared not only to other forms of art and antiques, but also to some other numismatic categories. In addition to the traditional collecting countries such as those in Western Europe that have seen many prices at least double in just five years, those areas in Eastern Europe, such as Russia, Poland, and Hungary, have increased by a factor of ten or more. The coinage of India and the Islamic Empires, long dismissed by western collectors as difficult to decipher, unimportant, and lacking in value, is now the subject of intense interest, so much so that the “Arabian Empires” section is expanded more than tenfold to accommodate the amount of information demanded by contemporary collectors. The gold coins of the ancients, too, have risen dramatically, especially those in higher quality. In fact, as collectors recognized the scarcity of coins in the highest states of preservation, the premium for such coins relative to lower-graded ones escalated beyond traditional proportions.

When the first edition of Gold Coins of the World made its debut in 1958, it forever changed the way gold coins were collected, cataloged, traded, and priced. For the first time, one book provided a reliable guide for a subject which previously required an often expensive investment in multiple volumes of literature, some of it rare and antique, and much of it badly out-of-date. With the publication of this pioneering work, Robert Friedberg (1912-1963) established himself as an international icon in the field of numismatic literature. The 'Friedberg Numbering System' he developed became then, and remains today, the internationally-recognized standard for systematically identifying any gold coin ever made.

From just 384 pages in 1958, Gold Coins of the World has expanded to the extent that it now contains more than triple the information of its ancestor. It still stands alone as the first and only book to describe, catalog and price two millennia of gold, platinum, and palladium coin issues from across the globe. From the first coins of the ancient Greeks to the most recently-issued modern commemoratives, the book contains an astonishing collection of more than 21,000 individual coin listings accompanied by over 8,000 actual-size photographs. The prices, usually in the two most commonly-encountered states of preservation, have been fully updated, for the most part raised substantially, to reflect the dynamics of today's market. Illustrations have been added or improved, and hundreds of new discoveries and recent issues are included for the first time. Contemporary (post-1950) gold coins, which used to form their own section, are now integrated in alphabetical order with all other issues beginning in AD 600.

For the numismatist, banker, economist, historian, or institution of higher learning, the eighth edition of Gold Coins of the World is a book for every library.




The Long-Awaited Second Part of SC


Houghton, Arthur, Catherine C. Lorber, and Oliver D. Hoover. Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue. Part 2: Seleucus IV through Antiochus XIII, 2 vols. 2008. Hardbound with dust jacket. Volume 1 contains xlvii + 701 pp.; Volume 2 contains 536 pages, 119 plates, maps, appendices, concordances, and indices. (GR) (GR321) $295

Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue: Part 2 is the final part of the authors’ detailed survey of Seleucid coinage, and the first comprehensive treatment of the kingdom’s issues from the death of Antiochus III in 187 BC to the deposition of Antiochus XIII by Pompey in 64 BC. For this period, numismatists and collectors have previously relied on two older published collections, Coins of the Seleucid Empire (CSE) and SNG Israel I: The Arnold Spaer Collection of Seleucid Coins (SNG Spaer), as well as a number of specialized articles. While these have been very useful references, none have covered the broad range of coin emissions for this period, when overall production was relatively greater in quantity. Indeed, coins of this period are more commonly seen in the marketplace as well as in collections. Consequently, a great need exists for a practical and comprehensive reference covering middle and late Seleucid numismatics, and Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue. Part 2 (SC 2) fulfills that need. In addition to integrating and refining the earlier specialized studies, and greatly expanding on the material covered in CSE and SNG Spaer, SC 2 offers many new mint attributions, a few new regnal attributions, and a new chronology for the later Seleucid kings. SC 2 also contains a very important section of addenda and corrigenda to Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue. Part 1, which includes many new varieties that have appeared since that work’s publication. An appendix on Seleucid-related coin hoards offers an up-to-date recording of hoards pertaining to the SC 2 catalogue, as well as a supplement to the hoards in Part 1. Further appendices include specialized studies of metrology, flan production, countermarks, overstrikes, imitations, and fourees, as well as tabular surveys of coin production by ruler and mint, and concordance tables to other major references. The comprehensive nature and high level of detail of this work make SC 2 an indispensable reference in its own right, as well as a valuable supplement to its predecessor.

Hurter, Sylvia Mani. Die Didrachmenprägung von Segesta mit einem Anhang der Hybriden, Teilstücke und Tetradrachmen sowie mit einem Überblick über die Bronzeprägung. 2008. 440 pp. (text in German; five page summary in English), 29 plates of coins illustrated. (GR) (G322) $135

Until now, interested collectors and scholars of the silver issues of Segesta have had to rely on several different published collections, which are out-of-print and a challenge to acquire. Now, Sylvia Hurter, a well-known and respected numismatist, has brought together together the silver coinage of this city in this new tome. As the title indicates, this book is primarily a catalog of the didrachms struck by the city of Segesta. Beginning with the first issue in 475/70 BC, long after its immediate neighbors had already been minting this denomination, this book traces this coinage through the following 80 years, when Segesta ceased minting didrachms in favor of tetradrachms. The catalog, divided into four distinct periods, consists of a die study listing each obverse and reverse die pair, accompanied by a record of examples in major collections and auction catalogs. Perhaps most welcome among the appendices are additional die studies of Segesta’s silver fractions and tetradrachms, as well as a brief overview of the bronze issues of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. Other appendices cover known examples of local hybrids (dies of Segesta used with coin dies of its immediate neighbors), ancient imitations and fourrées, and modern fakes. A helpful and detailed introduction to the city and its coinage provides a useful supplement to the catolog (including a six-page summary in English), and an up-to-date bibliography and register of examples found in public and private collections, hoards, and auction catalogs and price lists offers further information for study. Although the text is in German, it is highly accessible to a non-German audience, and should not prevent the collector and scholar from adding this important specialized work to his library.

Kampmann, Ursula, and Thomas Ganschow. Die Münzen der römischen Münzstätte Alexandria. 2008. 440 pp. (German text), coins illustrated throughout. (RPC) (GI140) $75

The numismatic history of Roman Alexandria is one of the most intriguing areas of study, attractive for both its highly–controlled, closed economic system, as well as its wide variety reverse-types that reflect Egypt’s historic, religious, and cutural traditions. Until now, interested collectors and scholars have been compelled to gather their information on this coinage from a number of disparate references, some of which are out-of-print and hard to find, like Angelo Geissen’s important publication of the Alexandrian coins in the collection of the University of Köln, or are works more dedicated to the specialized and advanced collector or scholar, such as Giovanni Dattari’s collection. Now, Ursula Kampmann and Thomas Ganschow, both well-known numismatists, have put together a comprehensive handbook covering the provincial issues of the Roman imperial mint of Alexandria from Augustus to Domitius Domitianus, as well as the so-called “nome” coinages. This work follows the same format as Die Münzen der römischen Kaiserzeit, the first handbook text by Kampmann, covering the Roman imperial coinage. The arrangement of the catalog is intuitive: chronologically by emperor, then by regnal year within each reign. Each entry is cross-referenced to the primary references (RPC, Dattari, or Geissen [Köln]), and includes general price valuations for respective examples in Fine-VF and VF-EF condition. To assist the user, concordance lists to these primary references are also included, following the catalog, as well as an introduction with information on regnal dates based on the Egyptian calendar, denominations, types, and an overview of important episodes in the history of Egypt during the imperial period. A welcome addition, usually not seen in such handbooks, is a listing of contemporary provincial prices and salaries, which provides a tangible reminder that this coinage was used in daily transactions and may reflect the selection of particular types. A very helpful bibliography and listing of photographic sources provides information for further study. Although the text is in German, it is highly accessible to a non-German speaking audience, and should not deter even the beginning collector from adding this highly useful work to his library.

Winner of the 2008 IAPN Book of the Year Award


McAlee, Richard. The Coins of Roman Antioch. 2007. Hardbound with dust jacket. 406 pp., including in-text illustrations, charts, and tables. (RPC) (GI139) $150

The first single comprehensive catalog of the complex Roman provincial coinage of Antioch, this book synthesizes the wide-ranging scholarship on the subject to date into one single volume. Divided into three parts, the first gives an overview of the coinage, including what specifically constituted the Roman provincial coinage of Antioch, and the different categories of coins struck. The first part concludes with a discussion of the types found on the coinage, including letters and pellets, as well as excurses on evidence for attributing particular issues to Antioch, metrology, dating, production figures, countermarks, and forgeries. The second part lays out the denominations of the bronze coinage assigned to Antioch. The catalogue of coins comprises the third part and traces the coinage from the period following Pompey’s annexation of Syria in 64 BC through the imperial issues of Valerian. Divided between civic and imperial issues, the catalogue of civic coins includes the revived civic issues of Antioch struck in AD 312 during the Great Persecution. The catalogue of imperial coinage, beginning with Antony and Cleopatra, presents each emperor's coinage by general type, followed by their respective subtypes and varieties, all of which are accompanied by illustrations and introductory commentary. Each coin is also assigned a rarity value based on specimens known to the author. Four appendices complete the book. Appendix 1 lists countermarks found on the aes coinage, with each one cross-referenced to its appropriate Howgego number. Appendix 2 notes the provenance of each illustrated coin. Appendix 3 provides a concordance chart for each general type to Butcher, while Appendix 4 illustrates addenda to the catalog, including each coin's weight, die axis, and size, as well as any relevant die links. Finally, a bibliography of the works cited lists the relevant numismatic works that form the basis of the study. This well-researched book will be the new standard reference for the provincial coinage of Antioch, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in this important provincial city.
