The first volume of the series Tübinger Numismatische Studien examines the collection of Karl von Schäffer, comprising almost 3000 numismatic objects, which came into the possession of the University of Tübingen as an estate in 1888, in its context of scientific history. The edition of the complete collection documentation is evaluated by contributions to the history of the university collection, a biographical-psychological analysis of the person Karl von Schäffer, studies on the coin trade and on the collecting and research of coins in the 19th century, as well as by a detailed investigation of the networks of the educated bourgeoisie interested in antiquities and coins in the Kingdom of Württemberg. In the context of this dense transmission network, the coins and archival documents not only unfold their significance as important contemporary historical documents for the development of numismatics in the advanced 19th century, but at the same time represent a first-rate source for the reception of ancient coins as significant research objects in art history and cultural history. Band 1: A Collection in Context Mit der Begründung einer Universitätsmünzsammlung im Jahre 1798 und der Einrichtung der Numismatischen Arbeitsstelle im Jahre 1972 blickt die Universität Tübingen auf eine lange numismatische Tradition zurück. Die neue Reihe „Tübinger Numismatische Studien“ (TNS) soll die Tübinger Numismatik nun ins 21. Jahrhundert führen. Der erste Band der Reihe untersucht die knapp 3000 numismatische Objekte umfassende Sammlung Karl von Schäffer, welche als Nachlass im Jahre 1888 in den Besitz der Universität Tübingen gelangte, in ihrem wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Kontext. Die Edition der vollständigen Sammlungsdokumentation wird durch Beiträge zur universitären Sammlungsgeschichte, einer biographisch-psychologischen Analyse der Person Karl von Schäffer, Studien zum Münzhandel und zum Sammeln und Erforschen von Münzen im 19. Jahrhundert sowie durch eine Detailuntersuchung zu den Netzwerken des antiken- und münzeninteressierten Bildungsbürgertums im Königreich Württemberg ausgewertet. Im Kontext dieses dichten Überlieferungsnetzes entfalten die Münzen und Archivalien nicht nur ihre Bedeutung als wichtige zeitgeschichtliche Dokumente für die Entwicklung der Numismatik im fortgeschrittenen 19. Jahrhundert, sondern stellen zugleich eine Quelle ersten Ranges für die Rezeption von antiken Münzen als kunstgeschichtlich und kulturhistorisch bedeutsame Forschungsobjekte dar.

In this volume, Erik Christiansen uses Alexandrian coin hoards - meaning finds of at least two coins buried together - to explore the use of money in Egypt from its conquest by Augustus in 30 B.C. to Diocletian's currency reform in A.D. 296. Although these finds, with their wide array of Graeco-Roman and Alexandrian reverses, have traditionally been classified as a part of Greek coinage, he demonstrates clearly that they belong to the Roman imperial coinage. The hoards also show that Roman Egypt enjoyed a widespread monetized economy, in addition to the credit system described in extant papyri. The relative abundance of such documents provides Christiansen with a good supplemental source of information for his conclusions. And since financial administration probably was quite uniform throughout the Empire, this book provides a useful window not only on Rome's shifting economic fortunes, but also on monetary policy in other parts of the Empire that did not leave behind the same rich heritage of coins and documents as Egypt.
