Purchase options and add-ons

Coinage is one of our key sources for the rich and fascinating history of the Hellenistic world (323–31 BC). This book provides students of the period with an up-to-date introduction to Hellenistic gold, silver and bronze coins in their cultural and economic contexts. It also offers new perspectives on four major themes in contemporary Hellenistic history: globalisation, identity, political economy and ideology. With more than 250 illustrations, and written in a lucid and accessible style, this book sheds new light on the diverse and multicultural societies of the Hellenistic world, from Alexander to Augustus. The author assumes no prior knowledge of Hellenistic history, and all Greek and Latin texts are translated throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch and very readable

Very well done book, by far the best to date in this series. Thonemann has a strong ability to write engagingly and approachably, esp in this specialized topic. The first chapters were esp good. Only quibble might be that too much space is given to the “also rans” of Hellenistic coinage, the municipal issues. At least for myself, I would have expected and liked more on the mighty kingdoms’ coins!
