Important New Reference for Byzantine Gold Nomismata

Füeg, Franz. Corpus of the Nomismata from Anastasius II to John I in Constantinople, 713-976. Structure of the Issues. Corpus of Coin Finds. Contributions to the Iconographic and Monetary History. Lancaster, PA, and London, 2007. Hardbound with dust jacket. CD-ROM included. Edited by Italo Vecchi. 196 pp., illustrated with 352 coins. $125 (BY123)

The first comprehensive catalog of almost all the gold nomismata struck at Constantinople from 713-976, this book compiles the material accessible in museum collections and publications, as well as previously unpublished specimens from both finds and private collections, and provides a detailed overview of the output of the Byzantine imperial mint during that critical period in that empire’s political and economic history, when its influence in Italy was drastically waning and it faced stiff opposition from rising Islamic influence in Anatolia and the Levant. For more than two decades the author has exhaustively researched this subject and built upon the existing wealth of material, creating a die corpus for each emperor during this period. The first part offers a detailed introductory commentary by way of an historical overview of the period and an in-depth synthesis on the issues of each emperor covered, including a detailed revision of the arrangement of series, chronology, iconographic types, and metrology.

The second part contains the catalog of the nomismata coinage minted at Constantinople between 713-976, as well as silver and copper specimens struck from nomismata dies. The coins of each emperor are arranged in chronological series of issue and divided within each series of issue according to die variety. The catalog also contains a section covering imitations and forgeries, a corpus of site finds, a detailed discursus on the complex iconography present on the coins, as well as a schema of the potential total number of dies employed in the minting of these coins. A detailed bibliography of the most current scholarship on the field is also provided. An accompanying CD-ROM will illustrate each of the 7,780 nomismata listed in the Corpus. This well-researched book will be the new standard reference for the gold, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating period. An essential reference for the specialized collector, as well as for dealers, interested historians, and institutions.

Two New Standard References

McAlee, Richard. The Coins of Roman Antioch. Lancaster, PA, 2007. Hardbound with dust jacket. 406 pp., including in-text illustrations, charts, and tables. $150 (GI139) 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.

van't Haaff, P.A. Catalogue of Elymaean Coinage, ca. 147 B.C.-A.D. 228. Lancaster, PA, 2007. Hardbound with dust jacket. 167 pp., including in-text illustrations, charts, and tables. $75 (GR320)

The first comprehensive catalog of the Elymaean series since the J. de Morgan’s 1930 publication by, this book draws upon the extensive amount of evidence that has surfaced since then and synthesizes the wealth of recent scholarship on this important, yet little-known kingdom that flourished in the region comprising southern Iraq and western Iran from the late 2nd century BC to the early 3rd century AD. Divided into two parts, the first gives an overview of the history of Elymais and its coinage. A brief introduction describes the geographic, geopolitical, and cultural background of the region, and sets the stage for the following discussion of the three dynasties that ruled that kingdom. Using de Morgan as a point of departure, the author meticulously analyzes the various, and often conflicting, studies on Elymaean coinage that have been written over the last half-century, and draws conclusions based on the most recent evidence. As the kingdom's history and coinage are closely tied to its Seleucid and Parthian neighbors, the author has particularly benefited from the recent scholarship on these empires by D. Sellwood, G.R.F. Assar, A. Houghton, and C. Lorber. The first part concludes with a technical description of the coinage system, detailing its mints, iconographic types, and metrology.

The catalogue of coins comprises the second part and traces the coinage of the three Elymaean dynasties: the Early Kamnaskirids, the Later Kamnaskirids, and the Arsacids. Each ruler's coinage is presented by general type, followed their respective subtypes, all of which are accompanied by illustrations for ease-of-use. As much of the later coinage is found in relatively poor condition, often numerous illustrations of each subtype are included, sometimes supplemented by the author’s own meticulous line drawings.

A particular strength of the book is the features that were included to assist researchers and collectors. One such aid is the "Easy Finder" at the end of Part One, which provides a schematic chart for quick identification of a coin's general type. In addition, Appendix 1 provides a concordance chart for each type to the previous standard works that are often used in earlier studies and catalogs, while Appendix 2 provides the sources for all of the illustrations in 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 historical and numismatic works that form the basis of the study.

This well-researched book will be the new standard reference for the coinage of Elymais, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating kingdom.
