Description

This book is a comprehensive study of the coins minted by Apamea, Larissa, Raphanea, Emesa and Laodicea ad Libanum in Syria during the late Hellenistic and Roman periods.

It offers a historical overview of the individual cities, followed by in-depth discussions of the production, circulation, metrology and iconography of the coins.

The text is supplemented with numerous die studies providing a structural framework of the various issues.

A catalogue of 1,367 coins is also provided. Detailed discussions of the coinages and comparisons with contemporaneous issues of neighbouring mints reveal the diverse nature of the coins.

The volume bridges the gaps in our understanding of coinage in the Orontes Valley and surrounding regions.
