Description: For the first time, the seminal work of Lauri O. Th. Tudeer is translated into English and presented here with a new introduction and analysis of chronology and style by Wolfgang Fischer-Bossert, with a biographical note by Tuukko Talvio. The study comprises all of the c. 700 genuine Syracusan tetradrachms currently known.

Review Quotes: "Numismatists and ancient art historians will hail this new book by Fischer-Bossert [...] Although the original goal of this book was to provide an English translation of Tudeer's article and to expand his database, the final product is much more than just "an updated catalogue of Tudeer's original work."--Paolo Visonà "American Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 122, No. 4 (October 2018)"
