Hoover, Oliver D. and David MacDonald. "Syrian Imitations of New Style Tetradrachms Struck over Myrina," Berytus 44 (1999-2000), pp. 109-117, illus.

The authors discuss 4 imitation Athenian New Style tetradrachms overstruck on tetradrachms of Myrina from a recent Syrian hoard. It is suggested that the Attic weight issues of Myrina came to Syria largely as Attalid financial support for Alexander I Balas' invasion of Syria in 153/2 BC. The overstriking of these coins with imitation Athenian types ocurred in the 140s-130s when New Style issues began to flood the Near East. (Oliver Hoover)

A carefully reasoned and documented analysis of the Wood's money in America question. He concludes that Wood's money was successful in Ireland until the mid 1730s and its "immigration" to America was concurrent with or even trailing major Irish waves during the late 1720 and into the mid 1730s primarily into the mid Atlantic colonies. Lastly, the new issues of regal coppers for Ireland in 1737 created a large, preferable pool of coppers which could have made the exportation of Wood's coppers to America the obvious answer. The precedent of Mark Newby's St. Patrick's coppers is provided. (Thomas Serfass)

Fascinating article on the regulation of bread prices which reveals as much about the coppers and their value as it does about the bread being sold. The size and quality of the loaf of bread were monitored along with the price. To assist in this monitoring the shape of the bread was a clue to its quality, thus making it easier for inspectors to determine if the correct price was being charged. A handy table shows the results of the regulations (and attempts to sidestep them) in a handy table which also summarizes the price per pound of bread in coppers through the occupation period.

The coin-type published by the author depicts Tyche-Fortuna on its reverse. The goddess is holding the usual rudder in her right hand, but a small statue of Artemis Anaitis (instead of the usual cornucopiae) in her left arm: The Persian Artemis was specially venerated (as coins show) at Philadelphia and other cities of Lydia.

As it is well known from literary sources, Alexander the Great was venerated and imitated especially by the Roman emperor Caracalla (198-217 A.D.). This may be illustrated by coins and medallions from the imperial series and especially from the Greek imperials. Several special busts used for the emperor have a connection with the great Macedonian king. Among them are portraits of Caracalla in military costume with spear and shield: the head of Alexander and famous scenes from his life (A. hunting the lion, A. and Bucephalus) were taken as shield-devices here.

Ujes, Dubravka and Katarina Romic. "Polozaj grada Damastiona," Glasnik Srpskog arheoloskog drustva 11 (1996), pp. 77-98.

The authors review Strabo's mentions of Damastion, then characteristics of its coinage shared with Paeonian issues, concluding from the latter that the town/mint was near Paeonia's borders. Existing theories proposing 16 different locations are mapped. Some 40 finds of Damastion coins are reviewed and mapped, with emphasis on frequent finds in the area of Kosovo and Metohija, and scarcity within territories under Paeonian control during the fourth century BC. Considering available evidence, Damastion's location at or near a significant source of silver is highly probable. Areas of appropriately rich silver deposits in the area are then reviewed, with particular attention to 1) northeastern Montenegro (including Brskovo), southern Serbia/Kosovo (Kopaonik Mountain vicinity including Trepca and Novo Brdo), and eastern FYRO Macedonia (Zletovo area). Although there is no evidence so far discovered of extensive silver exploitation in the Kosovo area in pre-Roman times, the pattern of coin finds along with silver resources point to this area as a prime candidate for the location of Damastion. Evidence of abandoned refining activity in northern Albania and in the Ohrid vicinity, used to theorize Damastion's location in those areas, on the basis of geological and geomorphological evidence, was probably reflective of imported raw material and therefore of insufficient resources on which to found Damastion's minting activity.

Vega, Miguel and Salvador Peña. "Obverse and Reverse in Murabitid Coins (with Reference to an Unrecorded Half Qirat)," as-Sikka: The Online Journal of the Islamic Coins Group 3.1 (Summer 2001). (Link)

Dai primi didrammi d'argento romano-campani a legenda ROMANO dell'inizio del III secolo a.C. fino all'età costantiniana viene brevemente ripercorsa la fortuna del tipo della lupa con i gemelli nel R/ delle emissioni monetali romane. L'adozione di questa iconografia, così strettamente legata alle origini e alla fondazione della città, accompagnerà sempre, con esiti e soluzioni a volte complesse e spesso diverse, la monetazione di Roma.

Il contributo affronta l'aspetto monetario del Giubileo del 1300. Viene fatto cenno all'attività dei cambiavalute a Roma dove i pellegrini accorrevano spendendo il loro danaro per mantenersi e per pagare le spese del viaggio e dell'alloggio. Vengono prese in esame le principali monete presenti nella città , sia quelle internazionali come il grosso "tornese" battuto in Francia sia quelle locali emesse dai pontefici.

Breve storia della presenza dell'iconografia della croce sulle monete dall'età costantiniana al XV secolo. Viene sottolineato come, anche in tempi diversi, l'adozione di questo simbolo si accompagni sempre a forti motivazioni religiose. Particolarmente frequente è il ricorrere della croce sulle emissioni in aree di frontiera religiosa, come ad esempio nella Sicilia normanna a ridosso dell'espansione islamica. (A. Carignani)

Kritt, Brian. Seleucid Coins of Bactria, Classical Numismatic Studies 1. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1996).

Seleucid Coins of Bactria (SCB) presents a detailed study of the Seleucid coinages struck in Bactria from their inception until the loss of the province to the Diodotids. The recently discovered Bactrian city of Aï Khanoum is shown to be the principal mint of the Seleucids in this period, and the source of the extensive series of precious metal coins attributed by Newell to Bactra. A series of Seleucid coins previously attributed to the reign of Seleucus I at Susa is shown to have its origin at a mint in Bactria of uncertain location, possibly at Bactra. This mint began operating c. 290 BC, but coinage production was transfered to Aï Khanoum a few years later, toward the end of the reign of Seleucus I, when coins were issued with the dual names of Seleucus and Antiochus I and bearing the characteristic delta-circle control of Aï Khanoum. This control signature was also found stamped on baked bricks discovered in the French excavations of Aï Khanoum. The powerful evidence of the bricks is supported in SCB by the analysis of a substantial number of Seleucid bronze coins found in the excavations. Nearly all of these bronzes were of types previously unknown, but appearing in quantity in the excavations. Some of these bronzes carried the characteristic delta-circle monogram of Aï Khanoum, while all shared common technical characteristics and progressive die-axis conventions indicating a common origin at the local mint. This was likely anyway based on their nearly exclusive provenances at Aï Khanoum. The precious metal coins with the delta-circle monogram must thus also originate at Aï Khanoum, based on their ties to the local bronze issues by the common monogram, as well as by the direct evidence of the monogram on the bricks. SCB also publishes some new Aï Khanoum bronzes, of types not known from the excavations but attributable there based on the monogram and other technical features. Certain anepigraphic bronzes found in the excavations and believed by the excavators to be pre- or early Seleucid are shown likely to belong to the reign of Antiochus I, removing circumstantial evidence for a fourth century foundation date for Aï Khanoum. A possible link between the Seleucid and subsequent royal Bactrian coins of Aï Khanoum is discussed. Unusual legend conventions are shown to tie a number of uncertain Alexander-type silver coins to possible mints in Bactria. Finally, a group of "horsehead" precious metal coins attributed by Newell to "Carrhae" is reattributed to a mint in Bactria, in the region of Aï Khanoum. (Brian Kritt)

Kritt, Brian. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa, Classical Numismatic Studies 2. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1997).

The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records many new coin varieties of Seleucus I from Susa. The new material, supplemented by recent reattributions, requires a reassessment and reorganization of Seleucus' Susian coinages. Die studies of the tetradrachm issues, analysis of the sequence of controls, and certain anchoring dates have established a new chronology for these coinages. The issues are divided into six periods, spanning the years from 311 to 281 B.C. The study has revealed a dramatic increase in the production rate of the trophy coins of Susa in the years before the battle of Ipsus (301 B.C.), prompting an examination of the relationship of the Susa coinages to those of the other Seleucid mints operating in the late fourth century. It proposes a new interpretation of the purpose of the trophy coinage, related to affairs in Persis, and has in fact identified and dated a native revolt in that province c. 295 B.C. Analysis of the evidence from numerous early third century coin hoards has led to a redating of many of these hoards, and a revised picture of the circulation pattern of Seleucid coinages around the turn of the third century. A new date derived for the commencement of the Susian elephant biga coins has provoked reassessment of the transition of minting operations from Babylon to Seleucia ad Tigrim. The present study proposes a new chronology for Seleucia and identifies a third century coinage of Babylon. Patterns of change in the coinage at the eastern mints during the co-regency of Antiochus with Seleucus have been coordinated with the proposed movements and activities of Antiochus in this period. A new theory is presented for the factors leading to his elevation. Support is presented for the likely attribution to Susa of two important bronze issues, Medusa/bull and Alexander in elephant-skin headdress. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records Aramaic inscriptions, as graffiti on trophy coins, and in the form of die-cut letters on tetradrachms. An unusual new Susian tetradrachm with an Aramaic control component supports a theory of the employment of natives in the Seleucid administration at Susa. The study publishes a small but important mixed hoard of Seleucid trophy coins and early Persid issues, discussing these against the revised chronology of the Susa mint and the beginnings of the Persid coinage.

A previous work, Seleucid Coins of Bactria, reassessed the locations of the mints and the sequences of coinage issues of the Seleucids in their eastern-most province, and based on the coins found in the archeological excavations at the recently discovered city of Aï Khanoum, identified the importance of that city as the principal mint of the Seleucids in Bactria in the third century BC. It was also suggested that Aï Khanoum continued to function as a mint for the Diodotids, who seceded from the Seleucid Empire, establishing an independent Greek kingdom in Bactria in the post-Seleucid period. Now a number of new coins have appeared which have provided evidence allowing for the exploration and decipherment of the structure of the coinages in Bactria to the end of the third century BC. In addition, a recent study has established a model for the sequences of the gold and silver coinages of the Diodotid era. This has provided clues leading to new attributions for the bronze coinages in that period, and a template for carrying the mint attributions into the succeeding reign of the king Euthydemus. Another form of evidence now available comes from the recent publications of scholars from the former Soviet Union of the excavation finds from many new archeological sites in Central Asia. This has made possible the development in this study of a clearer picture of the circulation and diffusion patterns of bronze coins from the Bactrian mints of the third century, providing an important new tool for mint identification. The results of these analyses have led to new attributions and chronologies for the third century coinages of post-Seleucid Bactria. The locations and functions of the bronze mints have been established, including a full determination of the role of Aï Khanoum. A complete and rational model of the coinages of Euthydemus has been constructed, with mint attributions, new chronologies, and a correlation with contemporary historical events. The use of master portrait models for the precious metal coinages of this king has been established. Continuities and breaks in the coinage systems associated with the transitions between the three Bactrian dynasties of the third century have been explored. The use by Euthydemus of magistrates and die-cutters from the Diodotid period has been demonstrated, even some from the time of Diodotus I. A new discovery of coinage of Antiochus III in Bactria from his invasion near the end of the third century has been factored into the analysis of the coinages of Euthydemus, providing crucial evidence for the locations of the mints of that king. Using all of these discoveries, a detailed and comprehensive overview of the development and history of the coinages of the entire third century in Bact
