MacDonald, David. An Introduction to the History and Coinage of the Kingdom of the Bosporus. [Classical Numismatic Studies, No. 5]. Lancaster, PA & London, UK , 2005. (GR 311).
Between the seventh century BC and the fourth century AD, the Cimmerian Bosporus, an area covering the Crimean and Taman Peninsulas of southern Ukraine, consisted of a vigorous and sophisticated culture that maintained close ties to the Greco-Roman world. Much of what is known about this region comes from the coins struck by the local cities as well as the Kingdom of the Bosporus, initially independent, but by the first century BC, a client-kingdom of Rome. Apart from N.A. Frolova’s The Coinage of the Kingdom of the Bosporus: AD 69-238 (BAR 1979), now out of print and difficult to obtain, much important original research done by Russian and Ukrainian scholars remains largely untranslated and inaccessible to English-speakers. To fill the need for a satisfactory English introduction, David MacDonald has written An Introduction to the History and Coinage of the Kingdom of the Bosporus.
Drawing from Russian and Ukranian sources, An Introduction to the History and Coinage of the Kingdom of the Bosporus offers a systematic, chronological overview of the region’s coinage by the major coin-types, arranged by regnal and Bosporan Era years, of the Bosporan rulers from the Archaeanactids at Panticapaeum in 480 BC to Rhescuporis V, the last Roman client-king of the region. Regional maps and figures of specific reverse types for the early silver issues, and important regnal monograms, as well as an Appendix covering re-engraved bronze coins round out the text. A Concordance of the major references, and a Select Bibliography provide springboards for numismatic research.
An Introduction to the History and Coinage of the Kingdom of the Bosporus is intended to be a general accessible numismatic vade mecum for numismatists, beginning collectors, and the academic non-specialist.
DAVID MACDONALD, California State University, Fresno (BA 1965); University of Minnesota (MA 1968; PhD 1972), is Professor of History at Illinois State University. He has published numerous articles and several books on history, epigraphy, and numismatics. His most recent numismatic publications include: “Thasian Tetradrachms Overstruck on Athenian New Style Tetradrachms,” Nomismatika Cronika 22 (2003); “Sicilian and Southern Italian Overstrikes on Pegasoi,” Nomismatika Cronika 21 (2002); “Macedonian Civic Bronze Overstrikes and Circulation Areas,” Nomismatika Cronika 19 (2000); and The Coinage of Aphrodisias (1992). He is an honorary life member of the Hellenic Numismatic Society, and a member of both the Schweizerischen Numismatischen Gesellschaft and the American Numismatic Society.

13351. Daehn, William E., Annotated Bibliography of Ancient Greek Numismatics. 2013. Hardbound. Website shipping rates do not apply. (GR). (GR351)
Daehn, William E., Annotated Bibliography of Ancient Greek Numismatics. 2013. 600 numbered pp. Hardbound. (GR). (GR351) .
In 2001, William E. Daehn published Ancient Greek Numismatics – A Guide to Reading and Research. A Bibliography of Works Written in English with Summaries of Their Contents. This book has remained an important research tool for the numismatist of Ancient Greek numismatics, since the author included content summaries with each bibliographic reference. Its major drawback, however, has been that the book was limited to citing only English language works, at the exclusion of the rich literature on the subject in non-English. Recognizing the need to include non-English language works into the bibliography, he has been doing so since 2001. The result is the Annotated Bibliography of Ancient Greek Numismatics.
The arrangement of this book is fairly straightforward. Beginning with general references, it then proceeds to works on special aspects of Greek numismatics, and then specific geographic areas. This latter section follows the arrangement traditionally used by catalogers of Greek coinage, moving clockwise around the Mediterranean. Each section or subsection is alphabetical by author, and chronological when an individual author has written two or more works on the same subject. Critical reviews are noted where necessary, and reprints of the same article, as well as the publication country of foreign journals, are noted where applicable. Like Clain-Stefanelli, each entry has been assigned an index number, and a concordance to Clain-Stefanelli is also included. Indexes specifically of authors, reviewers, and collectors and collections, as well as indexes of cities, districts, kingdoms, and tribes, are located at the end of the book.
The most important feature of this book (as well as that of the previous one) is the inclusion of a brief synopsis of the entry’s contents and main conclusions, which allows the researcher and the collector to efficiently conduct their research and supplementary reading. Many of the entries are by the author; those from elsewhere are referenced to their appropriate source.
This book will be a useful inclusion into the library of any numismatist or serious collector of Ancient Greek coinage.

16101. Pieper, Wilfried, Ancient Indian Coins Revisited. 2013. Hardbound. Website shipping rates do not apply. (CA). (CA101)
Pieper, Wilfried, Ancient Indian Coins Revisited. 2013. 424 numbered pp. with 1329 coins illustrated. Hardbound. (CA). (CA101).
In 1998, Wilfried Pieper, along with Osmund Bopearachchi, published Ancient Indian Coins. This book was a catalog of all of the then-known coin types used in the region comprising modern-day India between the fifth century BC and about AD 300. This book covered not only local Indian types, but it also included Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek issues, as well as Kushan types. In the almost two decades since the publication of Ancient Indian Coins, new coin types have appeared, and new scholarship has revised earlier conclusions. Recognizing the need for an update, Wilfried Pieper has produced Ancient Indian Coins Revisited.
Arranged in a sylloge format, this volume is a publication of the author's collection of coins, beginning with the pre-Mauryan janapanda issues, all the way to the early post-Gupta coinages. It includes many new types, particularly the post-Mauryan bronze issues of Ujjain and Malwa. Also included are new varities from Taxila and Kuninda, revealing the extent and length of Kushan formative influence in Indian numismatics, beyond the gold issues which collectors of Kushan generally encounter, and which are excluded from this book. Most important are the series post-Gupta silver coins of the portrait-trident and portrait-fire altar types, which have only recently come to light, as well as new issues of the coinage of the Paratarajas, a fascinating series that has been studied by Henry Falk and Pankaj Tandon.
This book will be a useful inclusion into the library of any scholar, numismatist, or collector of Ancient Indian coinage.
