註釋Roman Provincial Coinage IV.4: From Antoninus Pius to Commodus (AD 138-192): Egypt provides an authoritative and systematic account of the coins minted for Roman Egypt between AD 138 and 192, covering the provincial coinage of this crucial period of Roman history in its entirety. The coinage in this volume was produced at Alexandria, the commercial and cultural capital of the eastern Mediterranean. It is dated by the year, making it an invaluable guide to imperial presentation and to economic developments during this transitional period. Its iconography is of exceptional interest to scholars and collectors, combining fascinating aspects of Greek, Roman and Egyptian culture. Cataloguing over 19,000 coins classified into over 3,750 varieties from the world's principal collectins and auction catalogues, the book gives a complete picture of the material, meeting the needs of numismatists and providing an essential reference for historians, archaeologists, and other students of the Roman empire. The introductory chapters and extensive catalogue are accompanied by illustrations of virtually all known types. Setting the coinage in context and showing how it may be brought to bear on questions of general historical interest, this book in two parts is an essential reference for numismatists, historians, archaeologists and all students of the Roman empire.
