Connections, Communities, and Coinage

The System of Coin Production in Southern Asia Minor, AD 218–276 By George C. Watson Series: Numismatic Studies

Addresses the systems of coin production in Pamphylia, Pisidia and Cilicia during the 3rd century AD.

This book aims to address coin production in the regions of Pamphylia, Pisidia and Cilicia during the 3rd century AD, where cities produced their own bronze coinage with some collaboration. Following Konrad Kraft’s Das System der kaiserzeitlichen Münzprägung in Kleinasien, the most comprehensive study of these phenomena to date, it examines these questions in an area unexplored by Kraft, as well as reappraising his conclusions and opening up new avenues of investigation.
