A large gap exists in the literature of ancient numismatics between
general works intended for collectors and highly specialized
studies addressed to numismatists. Indeed, there is hardly anything
produced by knowledgeable numismatists that is easily accessible to
the academic community at large or the interested lay reader. The
Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage will fill this gap by
providing a systematic overview of the major coinages of the
classical world. The handbook begins with a general introduction by
volume editor William E. Metcalf followed by an article
establishing the history and role of scientific analysis in ancient
numismatics. The subsequent thirty-two chapters, all written by an
international group of distinguished scholars, cover a vast
geography and chronology, beginning with the first evidence of
coins in Western Asia Minor in the seventh century BCE and
continuing up to the transformation of coinage at the end of the
Roman Empire. In addition to providing the essential background and
current research questions of each of the major coinages, the
handbook also includes articles on the application of numismatic
evidence to the disciplines of archaeology, economic history, art
history, and ancient history. With helpful appendices, a glossary
of specialized terms, indices of mints, persons, and general
topics, and nearly 900 halftone illustrations, The Oxford Handbook
of Greek and Roman Coinage will be an indispensable resource for
scholars and students of the classical world, as well as a
stimulating reference for collectors and interested lay readers.
