Book Description
Another volume of the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, Czech Republic project has been published by the National Museum in cooperation with the Czech Numismatic Society in the end of 2021. The catalogue presents the collection of Egyptian provincial coins, collected by ing. Luboš Král, a long-standing member of the Czech Numismatic Society. In total, 584 coins is represented in this volume including a small quantity of duplicates (always stuck from different dies). The core of the collection consists of Alexandrian issues; coins of the Egyptian nomes, which are quite rare, are represented by mere two specimens (nos. 583–584). The collection documents the coin production in Egypt from the time of Augustus till the end of the provincial mint in 295/6. The basic criteria for incorporation into the collection have been the quality and good state of preservation of the numismatic material allowing its further classification. The presence of coins of particular rulers reflects their occurrence on the numismatic market as well as different volume of mint production. It is most apparent in the case of coinage from Augustus to Caligula and later of Marcus Aurelius and especially Septimius Severus and Caracalla, showing considerable decline. The core of the collection (almost 65%) consists of 3rd century coins from Elagabal till the rulers of the first Tetrarchy. The collection illustrates also the restrain from multi denominational system consisting of tetradrachms and several bronze denominations. From the reign of Commodus on, only tetradrachms are present in this catalogue. Na konci roku 2021 vyšel další svazek edice Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (Česká republika), jehož vydavatelem je Národní muzeum ve spolupráci s Českou numismatickou společností. Kniha zveřejňuje sbírku epyptských provinciálních mincí, shromážděnou dlouholetým členem ČNS ing. Lubošem Králem. V knize je prezentováno 584 ražeb, jen malém množství se zde vyskytují duplikáty stejného typu – vždy jde však o různá razidla. Jádro souboru reprezentují alexandrijské ražby, egyptské nomy jsou zastoupeny pouze dvěma kusy (č. 583–584), neboť se na trhu vyskytují jen vzácně. Sbírka se snaží dokumentovat vývoj mincovní produkce od Augusta až do zániku provinciální mincovny v roce 295/6. Základním kritériem pro ražby zařazené do souboru je jejich dobrá zachovalost umožňující přesné určení. Zastoupení panovníků ve sbírce odráží především četnost výskytu na trhu, ale zprostředkovaně i menší objemy mincovní produkce. Dobře zřetelné je to u mincí od Augusta do Caliguly, znovu pak za Marka Aurelia a především za Septimia Severa a Caracally, kdy je z hlediska známých typů zřetelný propad produkce. Jádro kolekce (téměř 65 %) tvoří ražby z průběhu 3. století od Elagabala až k panovníkům prvé tetrachrie. Sbírka rovněž dokumentuje ústup od více nominálového peněžního systému tvořeného tetradrachmami a několika bronzovými nominály – počínaje Commodem jsou zde zastoupeny již pouze tetradrachmy.

Book Description
This catalogue of The McGill University Collection of Greek and Roman Coins brings together reprints of three volumes. The Roman catalogue of Volume I is by D.H.E. Whitehead (1975). Volume I also contains a Roman Supplement by Vivien Law and a short history of the collection by John Sullivan. Volume II (1975), by Prof. Shlosser, lists the gold and silver ancient Greek coins. The third and last volume (1984), also by Prof. Shlosser, contains the ancient Greek (including Judean and Indian) bronze coins and the Greek Imperials. Some silver coins are present. In Volume III are a Supplement by Louise Cass-Conrad of the Roman coins not in Volume I and Corrigenda to Volumes I and II. The volumes are richly illustrated with plates. The published collection consists of 1,763 coins, almost equally divided between Greek and Roman. This combined catalogue is unusual because so few university coin collections have ever been fully catalogued and published and is outstanding on account of its diversity. One may say that nearly all time periods and mints are represented. Study of the catalogue will be repaid with knowledge of examples of most kinds of ancient Greek and Roman coinage. The McGill Collection will be of interest to numismatists, including collectors, dealers and museum curators, as well as to historians of the ancient world.

Book Description
Sagalassos, once the metropolis of the Western Taurus range (Pisidia, Turkey), was only thoroughly surveyed in 1884 and 1885 by an Austrian team directed by K. Lanckoronski. In 1986-1989 this work was resumed by a British-Belgian team co-directed by Dr. Stephen Mitchell (University College of Swansea) and by Prof. Dr. Marc Waelkens (Catholic University of Leuven). In 1990 Sagalassos became a full scale Belgian project and a leading center for interdisciplinary archaeological and archaeometrical research. Due to its altitude, the site is one of the best preserved towns from classical antiquity, with a rich architectural and sculptural tradition dating from the second century BC to the sixth century AD. From early Imperial times until the early Byzantine period a complete range of coarse and red slip wares was produced locally. Excavations are concentrated on the upper and lower agoras to document the political and commercial life in the town and also in the area where a late Hellenistic fountain house, which still functions to date, and a Roman library were discovered. Major efforts are undertaken to restore the excavated monuments in their old glory. Several disciplines integrate the town again within its ancient environment and document the central role which Sagalassos played in the area.

Book Description
Michael P. Theophilos explores the fascinating variety of numismatic contributions to Greek lexicography, pertaining to lexicographic studies of the Second Temple period in general, and the New Testament in particular. Theophilos considers previous scholarly attempts to grapple with, and incorporate, critical numismatic material into the emerging discipline of Greek lexicography - including foundational work by F. Preisigke and E. Kiessling - before outlining his own methodological approach. Theophilos' then examines the resources available for engaging with the numismatic material, and presents a series of specific case studies throughout the New Testament material. His carefully annotated images of coins draw readers in to a greater understanding of the material culture of the Greco-Roman world, and how this impacted upon the Greek language and the New Testament.

Book Description
This volume continues documenting the well-known excavations at Morgantina, a Greek town in central Sicily, in a presentation of the largest body of coins ever unearthed at an Italian site and published as a group. The excavations, conducted by Princeton University, The University of Illinois, and The University of Virginia between 1955 and 1981, produced nearly 10,000 identifiable coins--most of them at of Sicilian Greek and Roman issues, struck before the end of the first century B.C. The numismatic evidence not only made possible the initial identification fo the side as Morgantina, but has subsequently opened the way to reconstructing the history of early Roman Republican coinage and the bronze coinage of Greek Sicily. The catalogue presents a full list of the coins found at Morgantina through the 1981 season, with discussion of significant issues and illustrations of 679 specimens. A completed corpus and study of the coins struck at Morgantina is also included. Theodore V. Buttrey is Professor Emeritus of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan. Kenan T. Erim is Professor of Classical Archaeology at New York University. Thomas. D. Groves is a graduate student in the Department of Classical Archaeology at Princeton University. R. Ross Holloway is Professor of Classical Archaeology at Brown University. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
