Xii.the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow - Part I. Roman Provincial Coins: Spain - Kingdoms of Asia Minor

Klappentext The publication of the great eighteenth-century collection of William Hunter in Glasgow University marks an important stage in the British SNG project. This catalogue of the first half of the Hunterian's Roman Provincial coins illustrates the 2428 coins produced in the West, and East as far as Commagene. 'Greek Imperial' coins have perhaps still to be fully appreciated in the context of the Roman Empire. From the death of Caesar to the reign of Diocletian, almost a thousand cities in the provinces issued coins with types and inscriptions that symbolize their cultural identity. The coins published in this substantial volume offer a wealth of information about many aspects of local life in that period, including religion, architecture and administration.
