Contribution to the Iconographic and Monetary History. Lancaster, PA, and London, 2014. Hardbound with dust jacket. CD-ROM containing 7,694 nomismata included.

The sequel to Corpus of the Nomismata from Anastasius II to John I in Constantinople 713-976, this volume continues the catalog of almost all the gold nomismata struck at Constantinople from 976-1067. Accessing museum collections and publications, as well as previously unpublished specimens from private collections and auction catalogs, this volume provides a detailed overview of the output of the Byzantine imperial mint during a period of substantial changes in that empire’s coinage, when the gold content of the histamena and the lighter tetartera was decreasing continuously. The author has exhaustively researched this subject and built upon the existing wealth of material, creating a die corpus for each emperor and empress during this period.
The first part offers a detailed introductory commentary by way of an historical overview of the period and an in-depth synthesis on the issues of each emperor and empress covered, including a detailed revision of the arrangement of series, chronology and iconographic types.
The second part contains the catalog of the nomismata coinage minted at Constantinople between 976 and 1067, as well as three miliaresion series from the mid-11th century, five issues of other nominal values from the 11th to 13th centuries. The coins of each emperor are arranged in chronological series of issue and divided within each series of issue according to die variety. The catalog also contains a section covering imitations and forgeries, as well as an addenda to Füeg's prior volume. A detailed discursus presents the complex iconography not only on the coins, but also on the dated imperial seals and bullae; a discussion of the concave/convex histamena is also included.
An accompanying CD-ROM will illustrate each of the 7,694 nomismata listed in the Corpus. A detailed bibliography of the most current scholarship on the field is also provided.
Together with Füeg's prior corpus on the nomismata from 713 to 976, this second volume will be the standard reference for Byzantine gold of this period, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating period. An essential reference for historians, for the specialized collector, as well as for dealers, and institutions.

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.."
