SynopsisProvides undergraduate and graduate students with an up-to-date introduction to the coinages of the Hellenistic world (323-31 BC). Written in an accessible style, and illustrated with over 250 photographs, it will be suitable as a textbook for university courses in Greek and Roman history and archaeology., Coinage is one of our key sources for the rich and fascinating history of the Hellenistic world (323-31 BC). This book provides students of the period with an up-to-date introduction to Hellenistic gold, silver and bronze coins in their cultural and economic contexts. It also offers new perspectives on four major themes in contemporary Hellenistic history: globalisation, identity, political economy and ideology. With more than 250 illustrations, and written in a lucid and accessible style, this book sheds new light on the diverse and multicultural societies of the Hellenistic world, from Alexander to Augustus. The author assumes no prior knowledge of Hellenistic history, and all Greek and Latin texts are translated throughout.
