Description:
This fully-illustrated catalogue publishes 2021 pre-imperial ancient Greek coins from an area of Asia Minor covering Caria to Commagene but excluding Cyprus. Each coin is carefully photographed and its description appears opposite for ease of reference. Technical details are supplied for each coin, with comparanda and provenances in nearly every case. This welcome addition to the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum series continues the cataloguing of the Ashmolean Museum's rich holdings. It will be of interest to numismatists, coin collectors, and scholars and students of the archaeology and history of the Greek world.
