Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dated Alexander Coinage of Sidon and Ake It may be said, without fear of contradiction, that of all the many coins bearing the name and types of Alexander the Great, by far the most important to us are those struck in the two Phoenician cities of Sidon and Ake. This is not because these two coinages are particularly large, or of unusually fine style, or of any considerable importance in ancient times. Compared to certain other Alexander mints of this period (such as Pella, Amphipolis, Babylon, and many others) our two mints were relatively unimportant; and, if, on the whole, the artistic level of the Sidonian issues is not bad, at times even quite fine, that of Ake is almost beneath contempt. The great value and interest of these particular coins to us lies in the fact that they, the only ones of all the mass of "Alexanders" struck before the middle of the third century B. C., are actually dated. Aside from the special interest attached to this fact, so unusual in early Greek coinages, they are, for this very reason, of exceptional assistance to us in dating contemporary but undated Alexander issues of neighbouring mints. In studying such "finds" of this period as happen to contain specimens of our coins these absolutely fix the date post quem of the hoard's burial, and often even indicate the actual year in which the deposit occurred. In fact, these two coinages must form the basis of any study of the Alexander issues of the many mints of Cilicia, Phoenicia, Palestine, Babylonia, and Egypt. That this has already been recognized is clearly shown by the fact that more has been written about Alexander's Phoenician mints than about nearly all of his other mints put together. After the successful labors of such eminent numismatists as G. F. Hill, Dr. Jules Rouvier, R. Dussaud and others, the present writer may indeed be accused of needlessly wasting much time and attention on ground which seems to be so thoroughly worked over. It is hoped that an answer to this will be found in the results of the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Justin Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus Volume II Books 13 15 written by Marcus Junianus Justinus and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pompeius Trogus, a Romanized Gaul living in the age of Augustus, wrote a forty-four book universal history (The Philippic History) of the non-Roman Mediterranean world. This work was later abbreviated by M. Junianus Justinus. Alexander the Great's life has been examined in minute detail by scholars for many decades, but the period of chaos that ensued after his death in 323 BC has received much less attention. Few historical sources recount the history of this period consecutively. Justin's abbreviated epitome of the lost Philippic history of Pompeius Trogus is the only relatively continuous account we have left of the events that transpired in the 40 years from 323 BC. This volume supplies a historical analysis of this unique source for the difficult period of Alexander's Successors up to 297 BC, a full translation, and running commentary on Books 13-15.
