The area of Greek Imperial numismatics has until this books been largely neglected, both in the field of collecting and of study, often because the coins have been considered too
difficult to identify. The series falls between two stools, that of the Greek numismatist
and that of the Roman, and books dealing with either subject may give Greek Imperials
some mention, but this usually amounts to little more than defining the series as a huge
and confusing area.
Roman Provincial Coins fills this gap, introducing the student and collector to this
fascinating subject, a rich source for ancient political and economic history and art. It is the first general book devoted to the subject of Greek Imperial numismatics and complements Greek Imperial Coins and their Values by David Sear.
Examining the provincial coins, firstly to find out what they are and what they were
used for and then to study the designs and the geographical distribution of these issues,
the book integrates provincial coinage with the imperial issues in line with current
thinking.
