The history of German archaeological legislation is outlined. The legislation is based on two legal systems, Roman law, which allows for the sharing of property between the finder of a hoard and the owner of the land on which it is discovered, and Germanic treasure trove law. In the period of the Enlightenment practices became liberalized, and laws concerning antiquities were made by many German states. Particular attention is paid to the role of coin hoards, as several laws were influenced by the juridical procedure for dealing with new hoards. (Niklot Klüßendorf)

Much like other historical disciplines, numismatics also suffered from the political situation in Germany after the country's division into two republics separated by the iron curtain. The situation is discussed in light of the reunification. (Niklot Klüßendorf)

The earliest coin-types of Thasos and the tribes on the mainland of Thrace are rebuses (visual puns). It is suggested that the 'satyr carrying off nymph' of the Orreskioi is a reference to the 'mountain beasts' (phersin orreskooisi), and that the 'satyr following nymph' refers to the Satrai (Satyrikos thiasos). The thiasos of mountain and woodland beasts is the common theme, bearing reference to the cult of Dionysos, centred at the important oracle in the hill-country of the Satrai. (John G.F. Hind)

Hoard evidence shows that Fritz Herrmann (Zeitschrift für Numismatik 35, 192425, pp. 169) erred in sequencing the facing head drachms of his Group 7 according to their resemblance to Cimon's facing head of Arethusa at Syracuse. The earliest facing head drachms are Series I, K, M1, N, N1, O, P, Q, and R. Most of these were identified as early varieties by Thomas R. Martin, American Numismatic Society Museum Notes 28 (1983), p. 25, but the present article corrects and expands his contribution with a die study. (Catharine C. Lorber)

Countermarks on Thessalian silver coins are fairly rare, and most of those reported here were recorded from two large, mixed hoards. Several of the countermarks can plausibly be attributed to Larissa, Tricca, or Pharsalus. Their appearance on coins of other mints can be a clue to relative chronology. The article explores various hypotheses concerning the function of these countermarks, leading to the conclusion that they were probably applied by officially authorized moneychangers to validate the weight or purity of coins before they were hoarded.

Coin Hoards 9, 87 allows the identification of a middle phase of facing head drachms at Larissa (Herrmann Group 7, Series L and BH) and a detailed classification of the late facing head drachms into four phases. The third phase, a mass coinage with associated staters, can be dated by the occurrence of specimens in hoards containing coins of Philip of Macedon. It belongs before his death and most likely before c. 348, implying a role in financing the Third Sacred War. (Catharine C. Lorber)

Lorber, Catharine C. “The goats of 'Aigai',” in Hurter, Silvia Mani and Carmen Arnold-Biucchi (ed.) Pour Denyse: Divertissements numismatiques (2000), pp. 113-133, illus.

North Greek staters and diobols featuring a semi-kneeling goat, traditionally attributed to Aegae, were identified as a tribal coinage by Olivier Picard, Bulletin de la Société française de numismatique 50/6 (1995), pp. 10711075. The present article sequences the issues, based on hoard evidence, fabric, style, and links to other tribal coinages. The time frame is c. 490/85c. 470. Shared letters, monograms, and types indicate an alliance c. 475 among the tribe of the goat staters, the Bisaltae, and Alexander I of Macedon; a second alliance c. 470 between the tribe of the goat staters and the Bisaltae; and a third alliance shortly thereafter between the Bisaltai and Alexander I. These patterns point to the Mygdones or the Crestones as the issuing authority of the "Aegae" coinage. (Catharine C. Lorber)

Twenty-seven coins (of which only nine were identifiable) were found in the excavations of a small Iturean settlement on the Golan heights. The coins appear to represent a very restricted period of occupation at the site. Their minimal chronological range is a mere fifteen years. The coins are all Seleucid, from the reign of Demetrius I (159/8) to that of Demetrius II (145-140). The coins include two silver tetradrachms, which were found in the make-up of the earliest floor, just above the bedrock, suggesting that they were placed there for apotropaic reasons, as foundation deposits.

Ptolemy issued very little fractional silver smaller than a drachm. Two varieties are published here for the first time. The first is an obol issue of the Alexander/Athena type from a Palestinian mint, probably issued c. 312 B.C. The second is a diobol of Ptolemy's later Alexandrian portrait coinage, known in two specimens acquired in Damascus and Jerusalem, respectively. A silver diobol seems superfluous in Egypt, which was now furnished with five bronze denominations. The provenances suggest the possibility that a single emission of diobols was struck for disbursement in the Ptolemaic province of Syria and Phoenicia, where the circulating medium consisted largely of small silver coins.

Houghton, Arthur and Catharine C. Lorber. “Antiochus III in Coele-Syria and Palestine,” Israel Numismatic Journal 14 (2001-2002), pp. 44-58, illus.

The authors identify coinages issued by Antiochus III in Coele-Syria during and after the Fifth Syrian War, based on provenance information and suggestions from Donald Tzvi Ariel and Danny Syon of the Israel Antiquities Authority. All of the coinages were known previously, but were attributed to mints within the pre-war boundaries of the Seleucid kingdom and, in a few cases, to earlier kings. Certain Apollo/elephant bronzes exhibit such irregular technical features that they appear to be products of a temporary military mint. They are interpreted as sitarchia, provision money paid to individual soldiers, and the frequency of countermarks suggests the need for guarantees of the invader's fiduciary coinage in a shifting war zone. Most of the other coinages are also bronzes with military types, probably minted to support garrisons and military colonies after the Seleucid annexation. Regular Seleucid silver coinage was not introduced, however, and it appears that Antiochus maintained the closed currency market established by the Ptolemies, allowing the continued circulation of older Ptolemaic silver.

Seleucid Coins, Part I, is the first comprehensive treatment of early Seleucid coinage since Edward T. Newell's Eastern Seleucid Mints (1938) and Western Seleucid Mints (1941). It expands on Newell's catalogues with hundreds of new varieties that have come to light over the past sixty years, bringing together issues described in the scholarly literature and in commercial publications, as well as much material that is published here for the first time. In addition, Houghton and Lorber have critically examined both Newell's attributions and those of other scholars. They propose a number of significant reattributions, some of which redraw the map of Seleucid numismatics. Seleucid Coins is intended to be, first and foremost, a practical resource for coin identification. It is designed to be accessible to beginners and to numismatists who do not specialize in the Seleucids. The catalogues are organized in historical and geographic order, first by reign, then by mint, then by metal, denomination and issue. There are indices that enable searches by control marks, remarkable types, remarkable legends, and countermarks. More than one hundred plates illustrate representative examples of virtually every coin type and denomination from every mint. In addition to an easy entry to the identification of Seleucid coins, the book contains extensive historical and other reference material that allows a deeper understanding of the historical context of Seleucid coin production. There is an introductory essay for each reign, opening with a summary of historical events, and proceeding with an overview of the ruler's coinage, mint policies, and iconographic program. Yet broader overviews are available in the front matter: a chronological table that juxtaposes major historical and numismatic developments, a stemma of Seleucid genealogy, and general observations on mint function and administration. A succession of maps illustrates the changing constellations of Seleucid mints. The appendices offer in-depth treatment of special topics, including bronze denominations and metrology, and countermarks appearing on Seleucid bronze coins. Other appendices are resources for further study: a complete list of hoards containing early Seleucid coins, and detailed surveys of the monetary output of the early Seleucid kings by reign and by region.

The author discusses the meaning of silver coinages produced in various parts of the disintegrating Seleucid kingdom from c. 130 BC until 64 BC, arguing that there is no evidence that any of these coins were minted to advertise political status. None of the local kingdoms and principalities struck silver in this period, and Judaea, Nabataea, Ituraea and Commagene issued bronze only. Of the thirteen cities which became autonomous under the Seleucids, only seven struck silver before 64 BC, in at least five cases clearly dictated by practical considerations. (Alla Kushnir-Stein)

This article proposes that two silver fractional issues attributed to Cilicia (SNG France 2, Cilicie, 476 and 489a-b) may in fact have been struck at Koroneia in Boiotia during the early Hellenistic period. The Athena bust on these issues is identified as that of Athena Itonia whose sanctuary near Koroneia was an important religious centre for the Boiotians. Finally the article suggests that the cult statue of this deity at Koroneia, made by the fifth-century BC artist Agorakritos of Paros, could be identified with a type depicted on an issue of staters from Aphrodisias in Cilicia (HN2, p. 718).

The author presents 26 coins from the excavations of a small farm in Upper Galilee. The coins are Seleucid, Hasmonean and autonomous Tyrian issues. In addition a hoard of 22 Seleucid silver coins are described in detail, found at the site many years before the excavations. The coins in the hoard date from 148/7 to c. 140 BCE and include a rare tetradrachm of Tryphon from Akko, dated year 1. The coins are analyzed in their archaeological context and a historical reconstruction of the last phases of the settlement is suggested. (Danny Syon)

Syon, Danny. “The Coins from Burial Caves D and E at Hurfeish,” in Gal, Z. (ed.) Eretz Zafon: Studies in Galilean Archaeology (2002), pp. 166-175.

A detailed catalog of 28 coins found in two Roman period tombs at Hurfeish (Upper Galilee) is presented. The tombs were rich in finds, and most of the coins, dating from the reign of Trajan (98-117 CE) through that of Maximian (308 CE) were found in an excellent state of preservation. Five coins are autonomous issues of Tyre and the rest Roman provincial, most from Tyre. Four coins are apparently unpublished. One is a completely new type of 'Akko-Ptolemais. One is outstanding for its size and obverse legend and can probably be connected to the visit of Caracalla in the east. One coin of Tyre has not been recorded for Elagabalus before and one Tyrian coin is a borderline case between a new type or a variant. (Danny Syon)

This hoard recorded from commerce allows the analysis of its Carthaginian billon tridrachms into four classes, based on iconography, style, and fabric. Associated bronze coins point to a date in the Second Punic War. The "young head" or Persephone obverse type was probably introduced at Carthage in 216, in the aftermath of Hannibal's victory at Cannae, and the hoard was probably lost in the period 210205. The El Djem billon represents the next phase of Carthaginian coinage. (Catharine C. Lorber)

Its design is reconstructed based on the comparanda provided by similar shrines erected in the Roman Provinces and the depiction of one of the Augustea depicted on a coin of Herod Philip (4 BC-AD 33?). The coin is illustrated on p. 47 tells the story of the medal satirizing the sinking of the Lusitania made by Karl Goetz and its influence on the decision of the United States to enter World War I.

The site of Shubeika (Western Galilee) yielded a settlement of the Early Islamic period, a church renovated in the eighth century CE (!) and two rock-cut tombs. 110 coins from the excavation are described, of which 63 could be at least partially identified, Thirty two from the trenches, 32 from a tomb originally hewn in the Hellenistic period (but without any Hellenistic coins) and 45 from a late Roman-Byzantine tomb. Most coins date from the late Roman period. The early coins include one of Herod, one of autonomous Tyre, one colonial coin of Tyre and two late 3rd century antoniniani. Forty coins span all of the 4th century, 12 are Byzantine, from Justinian I to Constans II, one Arab-Byzantine and five Umayyad and Abbasid coins. Nine Late Roman and one Byzantine coin found in the tomb were found pierced, evidence of their use as jewellery, probably in the late Byzantine period. The numismatic evidence is assessed alongside other archaeological evidence to provide a chronology of the site. In Hebrew. (Danny Syon)

Esposti nella mostra, alcuni documenti monetali, riferibili alla breve esperienza "separatista", portata avanti dalla regina Zenobia e dal figlio Vaballato, che aspirava a creare, in Siria, Egitto e parte dell'Asia Minore, negli anni 270-275, uno stato satellite ma autonomo dall'Impero di Roma. Ad una prima emissione appartengono alcuni esemplari che riproducono, in un tentativo ancora di compromesso, l'effigie dell'imperatore Aureliano e del principe Vaballato. A queste serie fanno seguito, dopo la rottura, le coniazioni di altre monete con Zenobia e lo stesso Vaballato. I ritratti, principale fonte documentaria delle reali fattezze dei personaggi, rientrano appieno nello stile romano dell'epoca. (A. Carignani)
