"The city of Nicopolis (Epirus, northern Greece) was founded by Augustus to mark his victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra in 31 BC at the nearby Battle of Actium. The city flourished during the period of the Roman empire and its civic coinage was one of the most important and most interesting of the empire. It continued in production for over 250 years from the reign of Augustus to that of Gallienus. It has many unusual features, such as the very rare silver coins produced for the emperor Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina, and, more particularly, the long series of coins with the name and portrait of Augustus. It was originally thought that they were all produced during Augustus' reign, but it is now known that, even though their exact chronology is difficult, they were minted for most of the time that the mint was active. This new study builds on existing scholarship but establishes a new level of understanding of the mint. The author has been able to find many new specimens of the coinage, often with previously unknown designs, and has found much new important material which was previously unknown in both Italian and Greek museums. The new collection of material is incorporated in a new and well-illustrated catalogue. The catalogue is accompanied by a series of analytical chapters that place the coinage very securely in the context of our literary and archaeological knowledge of Nicopolis, and which analyse how it can contribute to our understanding of Roman provincial coinage -- its rhythm of production, its extent of circulation, its pattern of denominations and its iconography. The discussion is based on a very full understanding of the coinage and of the literature concerning other provincial coinages and will make a very lasting contribution, not just to the understanding of the coinage of Nicopolis and of ancient Achaea, but also of the problems and issues of the Roman provincial coinage more generally. (Taken from the Preface by Andrew Burnett, British Museum)"--Publisher's web site.

"Due to its longevity and to the great variety of types that adorn the different issues, the Argive monetary corpus is undoubtedly one of the most interesting of Imperial Greece. It is composed by two asymmetrical groups, each corresponding to a distinct period: the first one, stretching from Hadrian to Marcus Aurelius, opens up new possibilities for the interpretation of Pausanias; the other, strarting mainly under the reign of Septimius Severus, saw a deterioration of the initial program and a steady reduction in the number of images, while the uninterrupted production of coins until the reign of Gallienus provides a major landmark for the history of the 3rd century devaluations. A confrontation with other Peloponnesian mints allows us also to determine the few mints that were still active at the time and to considerably relativize the extent of iconographic variation between cities, as can be evidenced by a systematic comparison of the images showing the Palaemonium in Corinth and the Nymphaeum in Argos."-- P. [4] of cover. "Le corpus monétaire d'Argos est l'un des plus intéressants de la Grèce impériale, par la variété des types qui ornent les différentes émissions autant que par la durée du monnayage. Deux groupes asymétriques le constituent, qui correspondent à deux périodes bien distinctes : la première, qui s'étend d'Hadrien à Marc Aurèle, offre des points d'appui nouveaux à l'exploitation de Pausanias ; la seconde, qui se développe surtout à partir du règne de Septime Sévère, voit s'altérer le programme initial et se réduire progressivement le nombre des images, tandis que le maintien de la production jusqu'au règne de Gallien offre à l'histoire des dévaluations du IIIe siècle des jalons majeurs. La comparaison avec les autres ateliers du Péloponnèse permet aussi de repérer les quelques ateliers actifs à cette époque et de relativiser considérablement la portée des variations iconographiques d'une cité à l'autre, comme en témoigne notamment la comparaison systématique des images reproduisant le Palémonion de Corinthe et le nymphée d'Argos."--P. [4] of cover.
