Book Synopsis Coins of the Ancient World by : Michel-Max Bendenoun
Download or read book Coins of the Ancient World written by Michel-Max Bendenoun and published by Collections (Tradart Institut). This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating introduction to ancient coins and collecting that is both an art book and an initiation. Who has ever dreamed of taking a close look, or perhaps even handling - or, still better, actually owning - a priceless coin of the ancient world? Minted in electrum, gold, silver, or bronze, coins were once the booty of conquest, the substance of princely, royal, and imperial treasures, and are now the pride of the world's major museums. The collection illustrated and discussed in this book is a fine demonstration of what can be accomplished through individual interest, effort, and patience, plus an awareness that leaves room for spontaneous impulses when guided by adequate advice and documented counsel. The result is an accumulated heritage that can be bequeathed to future generations. The collector known as JDL has always been drawn to beauty and exemplarity, his choices have been guided by balance and harmony. Here he presents us with remarkable evidence of the genius of master engravers of the ancient world who, inspired by the muses, were the first to forge monetary art and techniques. The examples illustrated here also reflect another penchant of the man who collected them - a love of travel, a desire to explore the ancient world from one end to the other. The geographical scope of this collection adds further coherence to a set of coins that covers a thousand-year period starting at the very dawn of coinage in the sixth century BCE.

Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity by : Stefan Krmnicek
Download or read book A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity written by Stefan Krmnicek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the modern, Western concept of money can be traced back to the earliest electrum coins that were produced in Asia Minor in the seventh century BCE. While other forms of currency (shells, jewelry, silver ingots) were in widespread use long before this, the introduction of coinage aided and accelerated momentous economic, political, and social developments such as long-distance trade, wealth creation (and the social differentiation that followed from that), and the financing of military and political power. Coinage, though adopted inconsistently across different ancient societies, became a significant marker of identity and became embedded in practices of religion and superstition. And this period also witnessed the emergence of the problems of money - inflation, monetary instability, and the breakup of monetary unions - which have surfaced repeatedly in succeeding centuries. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, A Cultural History of Money in Antiquity presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the themes of technologies, ideas, ritual and religion, the everyday, art and representation, interpretation, and the issues of the age.

Book Synopsis 100 Greatest Ancient Coins by : Harlan J Berk
Download or read book 100 Greatest Ancient Coins written by Harlan J Berk and published by . This book was released on 2024-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the expanded third edition of his award-winning 100 Greatest Ancient Coins, author, researcher, and one of America's best-known ancient-coin dealers, Harlan J. Berk takes you on a personal guided tour of the numismatic antiquities of Greece, Rome, the Byzantine Empire, and other parts of the ancient world. Each coin in this book ranks as one of the greatest relics of antiquity. Individually, they stand out as unique pieces of history, artistry, and human effort. Collectively, they tell the story of civilization from the glory days of the ancient Greeks to Europe's descent into the Dark Ages. Berk's passion for the beauty and workmanship of coins shows through in his writing, which is highly informative, sometimes gossipy, and always thought-provoking. The coins described in the book, he says, "have been collected almost since they were issued. There is evidence that the leaders of some great cities issued wonderful artistic coins made by recognized artists so that future generations would know what heights they reached. . . . Renaissance kings and princes collected coins. Today ancient coins are collected around the globe." In this expanded and revised edition, Berk has added new information about the earliest surviving forms of human art--ancient cave paintings--and draws a direct line to the earliest examples of coinage. He has given special attention to the first-ranked coin, Brutus's Eid Mar, minted to mark the overthrow of Julius Caesar, and the owl tetradrachms of ancient Athens, one of the mostly widely used coins of the ancient world. New coin rankings, new photographs, recent market information, an illustrated glossary, and other updated contents make the book a visual treat as well as an educational reference. "I can't think of another person more qualified to have written this popular book than Harlan J. Berk. An impressively entertaining and informative volume . . . a fun book to read for anyone interested in ancient history." -- Author and numismatist David Hendin "A remarkable catalog of 100 exceptional coins . . . invaluable for all serious ancient-numismatic academics, historians, dealers, and amateurs alike." -- British numismatist and author Italo Vecchi TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword, by David Hendin Preface, by the publisher Introduction How to Collect Ancient Coins, and What to Avoid Ionia Electrum Stater (No. 81) Ephesus Phanes Electrum Stater (No. 61) The Coinage of Croesus (No. 9) Cyzicus Electrum Staters (No. 75) Alexander I of Macedonia Octadrachm (No. 49) Poseidonia Stater (No. 26) Delphic Tridrachm (No. 38) Aetna Tetradrachm (No. 22) Cos Discus Thrower Stater (No. 42) Aegina Sea Turtle Stater (No. 16) Syracuse Demareteion Decadrachm (No. 5) Athens Decadrachm (No. 2) Naxos Tetradrachm (No. 4) Cnossus Minotaur Stater (No. 48) Thebes Stater (No. 69) Athens Tetradrachm (No. 10) Melos Stater (No. 91) Acragas Skylla Tetradrachm (No. 21) Zeus Olympic Stater (No. 55) Gela Tetradrachm (No. 18) Kimon Decadrachm (No. 6) Euainetos Decadrachm (No. 3) Arethusa Facing Head Tetradrachm by Kimon (No. 7) Syracuse Tetradrachm (No. 17) Camarina Didrachm (No. 24) Acragas Decadrachm (No. 8) Larissa Drachm (No. 54) Syracuse Arethusa 100-Litra Coin (No. 19) Carthaginian Dido Tetradrachm (No. 15) Clazomenae Tetradrachm (No. 47) Rhodes Tetradrachm (No. 27) Amphipolis Tetradrachm (No. 29) Metapontum Stater (No. 36) Panticapaeum Gold Stater (No. 39) Tarentum Horseman Stater (No. 45) Tarentum Gold Stater (No. 32) Philip II Tetradrachm (No. 44) Alexander the Great Tetradrachm (No. 20) Corinth Stater (No. 23) Alexander the Great Porus Decadrachm (No. 43) Lysimachus Tetradrachm (No. 52) Demetrius Poliorcetes Tetradrachm (No. 56) Aes Grave As (No. 34) Pergamon Gold Stater (No. 51) Arsinoë II Gold Octadrachm (No. 74) Ptolemy III Dynastic Octadrachm (No. 84) Berenike II Dodecadrachm or Pentadecadrachm (No. 58) Hannibal Coin (No. 25) Roman Oath-Taking Stater (No. 68) Roman 40-As Gold Coin (No. 71) Flamininus Gold Stater (No. 63) Pharnaces I of Pontus Tetradrachm (No. 79) Perseus "Zoilos" Silver Tetradrachm (No. 67) Eucratides I Heroic Bust Coin (No. 80) Orophernes Silver Tetradrachm (No. 82) Sulla Aureus (No. 72) Cleopatra VII Ascalon Mint Tetradrachm (No. 30) Caesar Portrait Denarius (No. 14) Sulla's Dream Denarius (No. 73) Octavian and Julius Caesar Aureus (No. 35) Brutus "Eid Mar" Denarius (No. 1) Quintus Labienus Aureus (No. 40) Sextus Pompey Aureus (No. 46) Cleopatra and Mark Antony Portrait Denarius (No. 12) Augustus Cistophorus With Sphinx Reverse (No. 28) Augustus Facing Portrait Denarius (No. 53) Tiberius Denarius (Biblical Tribute Penny) (No. 50) Jerusalem Temple Shekel (No. 62) Caligula Three Sisters Sestertius (No. 60) Britannicus Sestertius (No. 41) Nero Port of Ostia Sestertius (No. 13) Clodius Macer Portrait Denarius (No. 78) First Revolt Year 5 Shekel (No. 37) Titus "Judea Capta" Sestertius (No. 33) Titus Colosseum Sestertius (No. 11) Trajan Danube Bridge Sestertius (No. 57) Hadrian Year 874 of Rome Aureus (No. 66) Bar Kochba Year 1 Tetradrachm (No. 59) Antoninus Pius Labors of Hercules Drachms (No. 96) Commodus Portrait Sestertius With Lion Skin of Hercules (No. 83) Clodius Albinus Aureus (No. 89) Noah's Ark Coin (No. 90) Septimius Severus Aureus With Julia and Both Sons (No. 86) Septimius Severus "Ship in Circus" Aureus (No. 87) Caracalla Circus Maximus Sestertius (No. 31) Elagabalus Aureus With Stone of Emesa in Quadriga (No. 76) Philip I Millennial Games Coinage (No. 88) Herennia Etruscilla Double Sestertius (No. 97) Postumus Facing Head Aureus (No. 65) Carausius et Fratres SVI Antoninianus (No. 92) Licinius I and Licinius II Facing Bust Aurei (No. 70) Constantinople Five-Siliqua Coinage (No. 64) Romulus Augustulus Solidus (No. 85) Justinian I Follis (No. 98) Constantine IV Folles (No. 95) Justinian II Christ Solidus (First Reign) (No. 77) Justinian II Christ Solidus (Second Reign) (No. 93) John I Zimisces Anonymous Follis (No. 99) Michael V Coin (No. 100) Constantine XI Stavraton (No. 94) Appendix: Gallery of Relative Coin Sizes Glossary Selected Bibliography About the Author Acknowledgments Credits Index
