Islamic Coins and Their Values Volume 2
This book is the second volume of an illustrated price guide to Islamic coins; the first volume was published in 2015. The Islamic market has long been hampered by two things: the lack of reliable information regarding values due to the historic volatility of auction prices for Islamic coins, and the lack of general reference works with illustrations. This book is an attempt to remedy both these problems. It is intended as an introductory guide, aimed at the general collector; suggestions for further reading are given throughout the book.
Roman Imperial Portrait Practice in the Second Century AD
It has long been thought that imperial portrait types were officially commissioned to commemorate specific historical moments and that they were made available to both the mint and the marble workshops in Rome, assuming a close correspondence between portraits on coins and in the round. All of this, however, has never been clearly proven, nor has it been disproven by a close systematic examination of the evidence on a broad material basis by those scholars who have questioned it. Through systematic case studies of Faustina the Younger's and Marcus Aurelius' portraits on coins and in sculpture, this book provides new insights into the functioning of the imperial image in Rome in the second century AD that move a difficult, much-discussed subject forward decisively. The new evidence presented here has made it necessary to adjust the established model; more flexibility is needed to describe the processes and practices behind the phenomenon of 'repeated' imperial portraits and how the imperial portrait worked in the mint of Rome and in the metropolitan marble workshops.
Aramaica Qumranica

Under Divine Auspices

Die Münzen der großen Herrscherdynastien
Der Sieg Ottos über die Ungarn in der Schlacht auf dem Lechfeld im Jahr 955 wird von vielen Historikern bis heute als das Geburtsdatum Deutschlands bzw. der Deutschen verstanden, obwohl die Wurzeln selbstverständlich einige Zeit weiter zurück reichen. Numismatisch betrachtet setzen die Ottonen (919-1024) und die Salier (1024-1125) die karolingische Münztradition fort. Es ist die Zeit der Pfennige und Denare. Das 12. und 13. Jahrhundert zeichnen sich durch die Vielfalt der Brakteaten aus, die nach und nach zweiseitigen Prägungen weichen und den Weg für den Groschen und Schilling ebnen, später dann auch dem Gulden und schließlich dem Taler-Prägungen, die die weitere Münzgeschichte bis heute wesentlich bestimmen. Viele dieser Münzen werden am Markt zu erstaunlich günstigen Preisen angeboten, andere sind für private Sammler selbstverständlich unerschwinglich.
Württemberg. Münzen und Medaillen
Württemberg war ein seit dem Hochmittelalter bestehender Teilstaat des Heiligen Römischen Reichs deutscher Nation, des Rheinbundes, des Deutschen Bundes, des Deutschen Reiches, der 1952 im neu gebildeten Bundesland Baden-Württemberg aufging. Seine Haupt- und Residenzstadt war Stuttgart. Das Land bildete sich im 11. Jahrhundert aus dem Herrschaftsgebiet des Hauses Württemberg am mittleren Neckar heraus. Neben diesem Kerngebiet gehörten bis 1793 linksrheinische Gebiete im Elsass und um Montbéliard (Württemberg-Mömpelgard) zu Württemberg. Die Münzgeschichte Württembergs beginnt am 17. Januar 1374, als Graf Eberhard II. der Greiner (1344-1392) von Kaiser Karl IV. das Recht bekommt, He...
Braunschweig und Hannover
Das Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg war ein Reichsfürstentum auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Bundeslandes Niedersachsen. 1235 wurde Otto das Kind auf dem Mainzer Hoftag mit dem neu gegründeten Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg belehnt. Dieses gründete sich auf die beiden Burgen in Braunschweig und Lüneburg und den zugehörigen Eigenbesitz der Welfen. Im Jahr 1269 kam es zu einer ersten Teilung zwischen den Brüdern Albrecht und Johann. Die entstandenen Fürstentümer Braunschweig und Lüneburg bildeten zusammen weiterhin das Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg. Die weitere Geschichte des Herzogtums und der Teilfürstentümer war gekennzeichnet durch weitere Teilungen und Zusammenführungen der ...
Imagining Emperors in the Later Roman Empire
Imagining Emperors in the Later Roman Empire offers new analysis of the textual depictions of a series of emperors in the fourth century within overlapping historical, religious, and literary contexts. Drawing on the recent Representational Turn in the study of imperial power, these essays examine how literary authors working in various genres, both Latin and Greek, and of differing religious affiliations construct and manipulate the depiction of a series of emperors from the late third to the late fourth centuries CE. In a move away from traditional source criticism, this volume opens up new methodological approaches to chart intellectual and literary history during a critical century for the ancient Mediterranean world.
Roman Imperial Coinage II.3
The standard reference work for Roman Imperial coinage of Hadrian now occupies a fully revised and greatly expanded standalone volume to cover the last epoch of what many consider the apogee of Roman coinage – begun with Nero’s reform of AD 64 when great effort was taken over their iconographic designs. It is also a long overdue attempt to reconcile our increased 21st century understanding of this otherwise lightly documented reign of one of the key figures in Roman history. The rich symbolism of the reign is also expressed in prodigious issues of Hadrian’s medallic pieces, many covered in RIC for the first time.
