文档介绍：THE LEGEND OF ALEXANDER
THE GREAT ON GREEK AND
ROMAN COINS
Karsten Dahmen collects, presents and examines, for the first time in one
volume, the portraits and representations of Alexander the Great on ancient
coins of the Greek and Roman periods (c. 320 bc to ad 400). Dahmen offers a
firsthand insight into the posthumous appreciation of Alexander’s legend by
Hellenistic kings, Greek cities, and Roman bining an introduc-
tion to the historical background and basic information on the coins with a
comprehensive study of Alexander’s numismatic iconography.
Dahmen also discusses in detail examples of coins with Alexander’s portrait,
which are part of a selective presentation of representative coin-types. An
image and discussion bined with a characteristic quotation of a source
from ancient historiography and a short bibliographical reference. The
numismatic material presented, although being a representative selection,
will exceed any previously published work on the subject.
The Legend of Alexander the Great on Greek and Roman Coins will be useful for
everyone in the munity including students and academics. It will
also be accessible for general readers with an interest in ancient history,
numismatics, or collecting.
Karsten Dahmen is a Classical Archaeologist and Numismatist of the
Berlin Coin .
