Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Coinage of Southern Arabia Hitherto the coins of Southern Arabia have always been classed together as 'Himyarite'. It will be seen that the greater part of them must be divided between Sabaeans and Himyarites, and also that there is ground for distinguishing two small groups of coins, one attributable to the Minaeans, the other to the Katabanians (people of Kataban), although this latter group can only be regarded as subordinate to the main Himyarite series. Three out of the four tribes mentioned by Strabo are thus provided with a coinage. Since the rise of the Himyarites to power probably did not take place before the middle of the second century B.C., when their capital at Sapphar regia (Sqfar, near Yerim) superseded the old Sabaean capital at Mariaba (Marib the earliest series of the coins with which we are concerned should strictly be regarded as Sabaean rather than Himyarite. Nevertheless, the chronology is so uncertain, and the series are interlaced in so curious a way, that it is very difficult to draw any line between them. Roughly speaking, we may assume that the earliest coins, which are direct imitations of the earlier Attic coinage, belong to the Sabaean period, while the later, flat coins (of that which we may for convenience call the Sana class), 1 with a reverse type derived from the Attic coinage of the New Style, the small coins with names and heads of various kings, and the bucranium series must certainly belong to the Himyarite period. But there are certain single coins, or small groups, which, although in fabric and types they look fairly early, seem by their monograms and inscriptions to be intimately connected with the Sana class, apparently so much later. The following is an attempt at a provisional classification of the various series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Pre Islamic Coinage of Eastern Arabia written by Daniel T. Potts and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A presentation of the various indigenous coin issues that circulated in Eastern Arabia during the pre-Islamic era as attested in five private collections studied by the author. The basis for the classification is a corpus of 529 coins selected from those collections for publication here. Geographically, the coins came from two distinct regions which today comprise the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Emirate of Umm al-Qaiwain in the United Arab Emirates. Foreign issues were rare in these areas, although a handful of Sasanian, Roman, Seleucid, Greek, Phoenician, Nabataean, Elymaean, Parthian and Sabaean coins have been attested to in the collections that form the basis of this work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mare Erythraeum is an occasional series, dealing with the ethnography and archaeology of the lands bordering the Red Sea and their links with the Indian ocean. This is the sixth volume in this series. The coinage of the South Arabian Peninsula has not been studied in detail since 1922, when G. F. Hill published his catalogue of the British Museum collection. This work is the sixth in this series, and follows on from previous editions which examined coinage from Aksum. South Arabia is an area of study which is of great interest in terms of the historical and cultural significance of the region. The coinage of the Yemen from Pre-Islamic times is an important factor contributing towards the study of the iconography and symbolism of the people of this period, and displays important elements of the continuity and disturbances in the Yemen at this time. Munro-Hay links this information to known historical and archaeological developments in the Yemen in terms of religious, political and cultural factors. Munro-Hay,carried out extensive work cataloguing a large number of coins from the site of Shabwa in Hadhramawt, as well as a preliminary survey of coins from Hajar Am-Dhaybiyya. This information, along with the collection of the National Museum at Aden and other various collections, revealed several new types of coin, and form the main body of work for this book. The coinage studied shows itself to be richer than previously thought, and although these new types of coin greatly improve our understanding of the coinage of Southern Arabia, this is still an area where new finds are constantly being made, such as coins of the royal series or from the copper or bronze 'bucranium' series. Because ofthis the numbering system used by Munro-Hay in this study takes into account the expectation of future finds, thereby making this a flexible catalogue of study even if circumstances in this field change radically.
