I flussi di queste monete verso le aree del Mediterraneo orientale si interruppero nel giro di alcuni anni, mentre l’ingresso delle monete non tolemaiche in Egitto venne sospeso dal rigoroso funzionamento dei cambi doganali. Come testimoniano le scoperte nei territori sottoposti all’autorità tolemaica, la chiusura del mercato monetario interno fu ermetica e almeno dal terzo decennio del III sec. a.C. nessuna moneta “straniera” entrò più in Egitto. Ma se verso l’interno del paese le serie straniere progressivamente scomparvero, i rinvenimenti di moneta egiziana nei territori extra-tolemaici mostrano che un afflusso “a bassa intensità” in tale direzione comunque ci fu. Questa endemica, incontrollabile e limitata fuoriuscita di moneta dai confini egiziani solo in alcuni casi venne contraddetta da fenomeni di più ampia portata.

On the obverse is depicted either the emperor or a member of the imperial family to right while on the reverse is illustrated the personification of Provincia Dacia or Pax with the inscription PROVINCIA DACIA encircling the design; in the exergue is a dating year preceded by the abbreviation AN.
These coins, commonly known as the Provincia Dacia coinage, are the subject of the present book. The analysis is carried out by identified obverse dies series based on 876 sestertii, 2 medallions, 89 dupondii and 29 asses."

Even Trajan, quartered in the city, barely managed to escape unharmed thanks to the saving intervention of a “being greater than the human”. In this paper, the Antioch’s earthquake is analysed in the light of the difficult congruence of ancient sources and contemporary reconstructions, which are often the result of an “anxiety of accumulation” of various archaeological and (also) numismatic evidence.

After the international symposium organized in 1975 by the Centro Internazionale di Studi Numismatici, which saw the participation of outstanding foreign scholars, the Etruscan numismatics became a theme mainly faced by Italian researchers, enough not to deserve a mention in the recent Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage. This article presents an overview of past research on Etruscan numismatics carried out over the last half century.

Svoronos included a series of bronze coins characterized by the portrait of Ptolemy III Euergetes on the obverse and an eagle with closed wings on the reverse (with the usual legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ). The wide presence of this type of coins only in the Peloponnesian area suggests a deep connection of these series with the Spartan context and the years of the Cleomenean War. In this paper, some considerations are made regarding both the typological choice and the weighting structuring as – in the light of historical evidence – they allow a better identification and characterization of the issue.

An accurate examination of single finds and hoards has shown that, together with the coins issued by Alexandria, a percentage belonged in fact to the Cyrenaean series from a period spanning from the second half of the II century BC to the coming of Rome.

granted freedom to the Greek city-states of Cyrenaica, while the chora had been bequeathed to the Romans. Even the
currency, which the Ptolemies basically issued for local circulation, had to conform to the new economic impulses and to
the opening up of the money market. Some findings from Attica, Corinthia, and above all from the Aegean islands allow the
author to outline one of the paths of dissemination of the Cyrenaean coin series from this period.

Questa pubblicazione, curata da Livio Zerbini, attraverso i contributi di alcuni dei più autorevoli storici, studiosi e ricercatori del mondo danubiano in età romana, provenienti da quindici Paesi, consente di fare lo status quaestionis sui culti e sulla religiosità nelle province danubiane, il cui interesse in questi anni ha riscontrato un notevole impulso.
