This volume provides an authoritative and systematic account of the coins minted for Roman Egypt between AD 138 and 192. It is the first of four volumes, which will cover the provincial coinage of this crucial period of Roman history in its entirety.

The coinage in this volume was produced at Alexandria, the commercial and cultural capital of the eastern Mediterranean. It is dated by the year, making it an invaluable guide to imperial presentation and to economic developments during this transitional period. Its iconography is of exceptional interest to scholars and collectors, combining fascinating aspects of Greek, Roman and Egyptian culture.

The book gives a complete picture of the material, meeting the needs of numismatists and providing an essential reference for historians, archaeologists and other students of the Roman empire. The introductory chapters and extensive catalogue are accompanied by illustrations of virtually all known types.

XII. the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow: Part II. Roman and Provincial Coins: Cyprus - Egyp
<p>This catalogue completes the publication of the great eighteenth-century collection of William Hunter in Glasgow University, an important stage in the British SNG project. It illustrates the remaining 2581 Roman provincial coins produced in the East from Cyprus to Egypt, about half of which were produced at Alexandria.</p><p>For over three hundred years the Roman Empire had no uniform standardized 'Euro'. In addition to the Roman Imperial coins, hundreds of provincial cities stamped symbols of their own cultural identity and civic pride on the coins they issued for local use. 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.</p><p>Part I (978-0-19-726282-5&#x3b; 2004) published the coins issued in the West and Asia Minor.</p>
