"This comprehensive guide to the coinage of the Aegean Island of Thasos begins with an overview of the overview of the island's complex history, from its colonization in the early seventh century BCE through its incorporation into the Roman Empire in the first century CE.
The author then examines the coinage of Thasos – its history, coin types, weight standards, denominations, and rarity ratings. In addition to his own experience with the coinage, the author draws upon the latest research of renown experts Georges LeRider, Olivier Picard, François de Callataÿ, Ilya Prokopov, and others – much of whose research was published in French and appeared in hard-to-find journals.
The author then presents a catalogue of 66 coin-types traditionally attributed to. Thasos – some previously unpublished – from their beginning circa 530 BCE until the end of coinage at Thasos under the Roman Emperor Geta in 217 CE. Using the latestresearch, 14 of these types are now revealed to belong to a common system of coinage, produced by multiple communities, and circulating in what the author calls the Thracian Monetary Zone. The remaining 52 types belong to Thasos.
All known varieties of each type are listed, including 200 from
The Titan Collection – perhaps the most comprehensive collection of these coins, and supplemented by coins from museum collections and the private market, resulting in 410 distinct listed varieties.
A thorough bibliography of important references for the history and coinage of Thasos is included, as well as a guide to commonly seen forgeries.
This book will be an essential guide for any collector, dealer, or researcher who wishes to understand this scarce, complex, and fascinating series of coins."
