Ancient
Coins of The Balkan Peninsula
Nikola Moushmov's (1896 -1942) Ancient
Coins of the Balkan Peninsula and the Coins of the Bulgarian Monarchs,
was published in 1912, originally in "Old Bulgarian" (that is,
using archaic word forms that would confound automated translation
software!) plus Latin translations of headings. It's particularly
comprehensive for Roman Provincial coins of Moesia and Thrace. The
book is arranged alphabetically by city and chronologically by ruler
within that city, then alphabetical by reverse type, e.g. Aesclepios
before Apollo, before Artemis, before Athena. [Note that the orginal
Cyrillic alphabetical order is different in some cases from the Latin
alphabetical order. The English translation has had the cities
rearranged into Latin alphabetical order, but the reverse types have
not.]
Ancient
Greek Coins of Miletus
The
ancient Greek city of Miletus in Asia Minor, on what is now the west
coast of Turkey, has been called the birthplace of the modern world.
Home of Thales, the “father of philosophy,” and his followers
Anaximander and Anaximenes, Miletus was the intellectual and commercial
center of the Greek world in the century before Athens rose to
prominence. These pages discuss the origins and early history of coinage
and describe a small collection of ancient Greek coins from Miletus and
nearby areas.
The
Historia Numorum
Ed Snible's on-line version of
Barclay Head's "Historia Numorum", one of the greatest works on
ancient Greek and Roman Provincial coins, has entered the public domain.
As Ed says, "In a very real sense you now own the book. Until now
you've had no way to read it unless you were lucky enough to own a copy or
your local library kept it." Still incomplete but more is being
added.
