Kritt, Brian. Essays on Coins of the Seleucid East [Classical Numismatic Studies No. 15]. Lancaster, PA, and London, 2023. Hardbound with dust jacket. 94 total pages and 27 plates. (GR 365).
From the author's synopsis:
"This new book presents essays on topics related to coins of various types in the Seleucid east.
Here are the basic contents of the essays, by chapter:
1. New imitative coinages from Sogdiana, copying Seleucid coins from Bactria, particularly
those which copy Greek names and monograms.
2. Identification of the crude “Crab/bee” bronzes from Samarqand as Scythian burial
Tokens.
3. New finds of coins supporting the theory of directed transmission of Aï Khanoum
bronzes to Samarqand.
4. A challenge to the interpretation of an Antiochus III Aï Khanoum bronze found in
Ustrushana as supporting the presence of forces of Antiochus near Samarqand.
5. A new Diodotus I bronze coinage of Aï Khanoum, with “Diodotus” inscription,
matching that of some Diodotus I gold staters from the Vaisali hoard.
6. A hoard of Antiochus III bronzes, closely co-ordinated with the movements of his
forces on his eastern anabasis.
7. The presence on an Antiochus I bronze coin of Susa of a small, intentionally inconspicuous
representation of the Tomb of Cyrus the Great, presumably placed there by a local Persian die
cutter at the mint of Susa. This Persian partisan added a traditional feature to the image: the rows
of pairs of horns of divinity, which had been current at Susa for buildings, at least since the
fourth millennium BC, and for millennia afterwards. This defiant act took place about twenty years
after the Persid revolt from the Seleucids in the south, which led to Persid control of Pasargadae, and the Cyrus Tomb. This scenario is supported by an earlier example of a Susa die cutter, who
secreted, inside a monogram on a Seleucus I tetradrachm, an image of the horns of a Persid fire
temple, accompanied by an Aramaic letter."

From the author's synopsis:
"In recent years, there have been several studies of the Seleucus I coinages of Susa, but mostly focused on coins of the first half of the reign: the Trophy coins and Alexanders. Although a large number of new coins of those types have appeared since my publication of ESMS, very few new control varieties have been discovered, none for the Trophy tetradrachms. This book is the first major study since ESMS of the coins of the second half of the reign, what I call the Elephant Chariot Period. Besides the elephant chariot coins, this includes a number of related issues: Zeus / elephant staters, Artemis biga gold staters, Baal / lion staters, and others. Many new varieties of this period have now been
identified, including ten new varieties with elephant types, and a new Baal / lion stater variety of Susa,the first since the time of Newell.
These varieties have important consequences for the relative and absolute chronologies of Susa in this period, as well as opening windows into its history: such as the first known transfer of a magistrate from Babylon to Susa, and the identification of SCB Mint A in Bactria as a likely colony of Susa. In addition, a new concept has been introduced here: the Susa Type/Variety cluster, a burst of exotic coin types in a short time interval. These can elucidate local events across mint lines. One such cluster from the time just before the Elephant Chariot Period, Cluster C, importantly, has shown the involvement of Antiochus I as new co-regent in reconfiguring the coinage of Susa at the time of the Persid Revolt. Another cluster (Cluster 2) has provided details into the foundation of the city and mint of Bactrian Mint A. In a related issue (Chapter 4), the analysis here uses chronologically identifiable elements at Susa and Aï Khanoum to provide the first internal chronology for Mint A. In Chapter 5, some new Bactrian coins appearing on the market have been discussed, and a new type of Sogdian imitations of Seleucid coins has been identified.
The extensive new, fully illustrated die studies of these coinages developed here provide a useful tool for identification and cataloging of the coinage issues of this very important period in Seleucid history at one of the most storied cities in Hellenistic antiquity.."
