"The Legend of Alexander the Great on Greek and Roman Coins" will
for the first time collect, present and examine the portraits and
representations of Alexander the Great on ancient coins of the
Greek and Roman periods (c.320 BC to AD 400). It offers a firsthand
insight into the posthumous appreciation of his legend by
Hellenistic kings, Greek cities, and Roman Emperors. Dahmen
combines an introduction to the historical background and basic
information on the coins with a comprehensive study of Alexander's
numismatic iconography. He also discusses in detail examples of
coins with Alexander's portrait. Which are part of a selective
presentation of representative coin types in the second part of the
study (in which an image and discussion is combined with a
characteristic quotation of a source from ancient historiography
and a short bibliographical reference).
