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not take place before the middle of the second century B.C., when their capital at Sapphar regia (Sqfar, near Yerim) superseded the old Sabaean capital at Mariaba (Marib the earliest series of the coins with which we are concerned should strictly be regarded as Sabaean rather than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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Coinage: 700-300 B. C In the course of the last fifty years the science of Greek coins, ancient numismatics, has undergone great developments. Up to about 1860 the study had been gradually taking shape, and many able scholars and numismatists, such as Sestini, Eckhel, and later Millingen and others, had opened up great fields of study, and showed much penetration and erudition in the discussion of the various classes of coins and their relations to the cities which issued them. Yet these writers had scarcely founded a science of ancient numismatics. Methods had still to be sought out and established. The pioneers of numismatic method were Mommsen, in the opening chapters of his Geschichte des romischen Munzwesens (1865), and Brandis, in his Munz-, Mass- und Gewichtswesen in Vorderasien (1866). These writers clearly saw that for the formation of numismatics as a branch of historical science two points were fundamental. First, it was necessary to determine not only the cities which struck each group of coins, but also the date and occasion of each issue. And secondly, as coins were measures of value and a medium of exchange, the one most important fact in regard to them was the quantity of precious metal which each contained; in fact their weight. Eckhel in his great Doctrina Numorum Veterum (1792-8), which is still valuable as a storehouse of learning and a model of good sense, had but a very vague notion of the dates of coins; and their weights had not been seriously considered. The works of Brandis and Mommsen were epoch-making; but they could not carry very far, because the essential point of the dates of issues had not been satisfactorily gone into.

The other and miscellaneous coins are largely the result of personal purchases in bazaars and curio-shops all over the world; a few only of the purchases were made at auction sales.

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.

D But there is another point which no one has yet noticed, although it has a very important bearing on this architec tural question. This point is the simple fact that the Persepolitan style must certainly have been previously introduced into India by the Akhaamenian kings of Persia long before the time of Alexander. This point is proved by the prevalence of Persepolitan capitals and bases in every part of the country where remains still exist, from Kabul eastwards to Bharhut and Buddha Gaya. As not a single specimen of Greek architecture has yet been found to the east of the H ydaspes, I conclude, with some confi dence, that the Persepolitan style must have been intro duced during the two centuries of Persian dominion before the time of Alexander.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coinage of Lydia and Persia: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Dynasty of the Achaemenidae The history of Lydia and Persia is to so great a degree interwoven with that of Greece, and is, moreover, so generally known, that I have not thought it necessary to give more than the barest outlines requisite for the elucidation of the matter in hand; and in the case of the coins which form the subject of the present article the merest sketch is sufficient, because, owing to the uniformity of type and the lack of inscriptions, it is for the most part impossible to classify them under the several reigns during which they were issued.
