Book excerpt: "I can say that this was not intended to be an elaborate thesis on the coins of the ancient Greek world. Rather, I have attempted to offer my own quivering hand to a few others like myself who wish to be introduced to a fascinating topic, hoping all the while, that they ight reasonably be stimulated into pushing forward into the more advanced stages of this segment of numismatics. I have eliminated everything but the bare essentials. The table of contents will bring emphasis to this fact"--
Download or read book Greek Coins written by Ian Carradice and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many traditions we have inherited from the ancient Greeks, the use of coins should rank as one of the most important. From its first appearance in the region of Lydia (western Turkey) in the late-17th century BC, coinage gradually spread throughout the Greek world, and the history of the ancient Greeks is reflected in its evolution. Designs on Greek coins include the badges of city-states, portraits of rulers, images of Greek gods, scenes from myths and objects of daily life, and are often works of art in themselves. The dies, carved by craftsmen, sometimes bear the name or initials of the mint official responsible for their issue, and the coins might have circulated in trade, been used as gifts or dedications, or hoarded as valuables.

Download or read book Alexander s Coins and Alexander s Image written by Carmen Arnold-Biucchi and published by Harvard Art Museum (Acc). This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why another book on Alexander with more than 2,000 already in print? This publication presents a clear, up-to-date synthesis of the most recent research on the coinages of Alexander and his successors. While initially produced to accompany a new numismatic installation in the Greek gallery of Harvard University Art Museums' Arthur M. Sackler Museum and a Harvard course, the book is not strictly an exhibition catalog. Rather, it serves a broader purpose as a catalog for Harvard's Alexander and related coins, as well as a general introduction to coins, and specifically, to coins of the era. Of interest to collectors and cognoscenti, the book introduces ancient Greek coins and the development of portraiture on coins and also offers an overview of the complexity of the historical events and coinages from the time of Philip II of Macedon to the end of the Hellenistic monarchies in 31 BC. In a section on the afterlife of the image of Alexander, the author presents some original ideas on the Poros coinage and discusses some Baktrian coins, as well as Alexander's cult during the Roman Empire, particularly in relation to the Abu Qir medallions.
