The Coinage of Herod Antipas (Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, #102)
by Jean-Philippe Fontanille and Aaron Kogon
The Coinage of Herod Antipas provides a comprehensive, multifaceted and up-to-date re-examination of the coins of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea between 4/3 BCE and 39/40 CE. Kogon and Fontanille classify about 800 coins by obverse and reverse dies. From this die classification they generate, for the first time ever for this tetrarch, about 300 composite die images. In addition, the authors examine both technical aspects of the coins (e.g. metrology, mint output) and non-tec...

The lack of context has, however, often led to highly speculative uses of the numismatic evidence in previous historical reconstructions. Money and Power in Hellenistic Bactria returns the focus to the coins themselves and presents the results of a full die study of the issues of Euthydemus I, Demetr...
A Pocketful of History (Enlarged, Updated with new material)
by Jim Noles
History is all around us,even in the spare change jangling in your purse or pocket. For the past decade, the U.S. Mint has offered America a pocketful of history through its popular 50 State Quarters (R) Program. A Pocketful of History tells the story behind each state's quarter: how each state chose its design what is important about the people, scenes, and themes depicted on the coins and what the collection tells us about ourselves. It's an entertaining and enriching journey through four hu...
