Füeg, Franz. Corpus of the Nomismata from Basil II to Eudocia 976-1067. Corpus from Anastasius II to John 713-976 with Addenda; Structure of the Issues 976-1067; The concave/convex Histamena;. Contribution to the Iconographic and Monetary History. Lancaster, PA, and London, 2014. Hardbound with dust jacket. CD-ROM containing 7,694 nomismata included. Edited by Italo Vecchi. 161 pp., illustrated with over 215 coins and other items of numismatic interest on 52 plates. (BY124).
The sequel to Corpus of the Nomismata from Anastasius II to John I in Constantinople 713-976, this volume continues the catalog of almost all the gold nomismata struck at Constantinople from 976-1067. Accessing museum collections and publications, as well as previously unpublished specimens from private collections and auction catalogs, this volume provides a detailed overview of the output of the Byzantine imperial mint during a period of substantial changes in that empire’s coinage, when the gold content of the histamena and the lighter tetartera was decreasing continuously. The author has exhaustively researched this subject and built upon the existing wealth of material, creating a die corpus for each emperor and empress 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 and empress covered, including a detailed revision of the arrangement of series, chronology and iconographic types.
The second part contains the catalog of the nomismata coinage minted at Constantinople between 976 and 1067, as well as three miliaresion series from the mid-11th century, five issues of other nominal values from the 11th to 13th centuries. 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, as well as an addenda to Füeg's prior volume. A detailed discursus presents the complex iconography not only on the coins, but also on the dated imperial seals and bullae; a discussion of the concave/convex histamena is also included.
An accompanying CD-ROM will illustrate each of the 7,694 nomismata listed in the Corpus. A detailed bibliography of the most current scholarship on the field is also provided.
Together with Füeg's prior corpus on the nomismata from 713 to 976, this second volume will be the standard reference for Byzantine gold of this period, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating period. An essential reference for historians, for the specialized collector, as well as for dealers, and institutions.

13326. Benner, Steve M., Ph.D. Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. [Classical Numismatic Studies No. 7].2008. Hardbound. (GR).Website shipping rates do not apply. (GR326)
Benner, Steve M., Ph.D. Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. [Classical Numismatic Studies No. 7]. Lancaster, PA and London, U.K., 2008. Hardbound with dust jacket. Contains viii + 188 pp., including concordances and indices. (GR326).
The coinage of the Achaean League constitutes one of the final independent series in mainland Greece prior to the Roman takeover in 146 BC. As such, its issues reflect the League’s religious origin and democratic composition. Until now, Clerk’s Catalogue of the Coins of the Achaean League, published in 1895, and Thompson’s 1968 The Agrinion Hoard [ANSNNM 159] constituted the sole specialized studies of the silver issues. Warren’s recent The Bronze Coinage of the Achaian Koinon: The Currency of a Federal Ideal [Royal Numismatic Society Special Publication 42], while an important die study for the bronze coinage of the Achaian League, may prove daunting for the general collector. Steve Benner’s Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. offers a systematic overview of the silver and bronze issus of the coinage of the Achaian League that will be useful for the general collector as well as the specialist.
The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 provides a brief historical overview of the Achaian League from its earliest incarnation to its reconstitution in the third century BC down to its end in 146 BC. Part 2 introduces the Achaian League coinage, discussing issuing cities, chronology of issues, as well as brief excurses on points of typology and metrology. This section concludes with tables of issuing magistrates’ names and monograms present on the coinage. Parts 3 and 4 comprise the catalog of issues. Here, each entry provides all the salient information in a tabular format and is cross-referenced to Clerk, Warren, and BCD Peloponnesus (LHS 96). Appendices provide a quick reference for attribution of both the silver and bronze coins, as well as concordances to the major references. The book is supplemented with a bibliography, list of pertinent abbreviations, and is well-illustrated throughout. Achaian League Coinage of the 3rd Through 1st Centuries B.C.E. will be a useful inclusion into the library of any collector with an interest in the coinage of the Achaian League, the Peloponnesus, or Ancient Greece in general.

16101. Pieper, Wilfried, Ancient Indian Coins Revisited. 2013. Hardbound. Website shipping rates do not apply. (CA). (CA101)
Pieper, Wilfried, Ancient Indian Coins Revisited. 2013. 424 numbered pp. with 1329 coins illustrated. Hardbound. (CA). (CA101).
In 1998, Wilfried Pieper, along with Osmund Bopearachchi, published Ancient Indian Coins. This book was a catalog of all of the then-known coin types used in the region comprising modern-day India between the fifth century BC and about AD 300. This book covered not only local Indian types, but it also included Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek issues, as well as Kushan types. In the almost two decades since the publication of Ancient Indian Coins, new coin types have appeared, and new scholarship has revised earlier conclusions. Recognizing the need for an update, Wilfried Pieper has produced Ancient Indian Coins Revisited.
Arranged in a sylloge format, this volume is a publication of the author's collection of coins, beginning with the pre-Mauryan janapanda issues, all the way to the early post-Gupta coinages. It includes many new types, particularly the post-Mauryan bronze issues of Ujjain and Malwa. Also included are new varities from Taxila and Kuninda, revealing the extent and length of Kushan formative influence in Indian numismatics, beyond the gold issues which collectors of Kushan generally encounter, and which are excluded from this book. Most important are the series post-Gupta silver coins of the portrait-trident and portrait-fire altar types, which have only recently come to light, as well as new issues of the coinage of the Paratarajas, a fascinating series that has been studied by Henry Falk and Pankaj Tandon.
This book will be a useful inclusion into the library of any scholar, numismatist, or collector of Ancient Indian coinage.
