Coinage in Roman Syria

This work examines the production, circulation and significance of coinage in northern Syria during the first three centuries of Roman control of the province. It includes a catalogue of the issues produced by the thirteen cities in the region which minted coins, and of the coinage of the Kingdom of Commagene. Studies of site finds, drawn from published excavations and first-hand examination of unpublished material in the Middle East, of hoards and of countermarks highlight features of the patterns of circulation in Syria, as well as 'foreign' issues circulating in the region.
