McAlee Richard The coins of roman Antioch édition
2007 - 406 pages illustrées - relié sous jaquette -
vainqueur du prix AINP 2008 The first single
comprehensive catalog of the complex Roman provincial
coinage of Antioch, this book synthesizes the wide-ranging
scholarship on the subject to date into one single volume.
Divided into three parts, the first gives an overview of the
coinage, including what specifically constituted the
Roman provincial coinage of Antioch, and the different
categories of coins struck. The first part concludes with a
discussion of the types found on the coinage, including
letters and pellets, as well as excurses on evidence for
attributing particular issues to Antioch, metrology,
dating, production figures, countermarks, and forgeries.
The second part lays out the denominations of the bronze
coinage assigned to Antioch. The catalogue of coins
comprises the third part and traces the coinage from the
period following Pompey’s annexation of Syria in 64 BC
through the imperial issues of Valerian. Divided between
civic and imperial issues, the catalogue of civic coins
includes the revived civic issues of Antioch struck in AD
312 during the Great Persecution. The catalogue of
imperial coinage, beginning with Antony and Cleopatra,
presents each emperor's coinage by general type,
followed by their respective subtypes and varieties, all of
which are accompanied by illustrations and introductory
commentary. Each coin is also assigned a rarity value
based on specimens known to the author. Four
appendices complete the book. Appendix 1 lists
countermarks found on the aes coinage, with each one
cross-referenced to its appropriate Howgego number.
Appendix 2 notes the provenance of each illustrated coin.
Appendix 3 provides a concordance chart for each general
type to Butcher, while Appendix 4 illustrates addenda to
the catalog, including each coin's weight, die axis, and
size, as well as any relevant die links. Finally, a
bibliography of the works cited lists the relevant
numismatic works that form the basis of the study. This
well-researched book will be the new standard reference
for the provincial coinage of Antioch, and will prove
beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but
those interested in this important provincial city.
