Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of coins, paper money, medals, and decorations in the ancient city of Tyre, one of the important cultural and economic hubs of the Phoenician coast. The author, an expert numismatist, examines a series of tetradrachms and drachmas spanning over fifty years of Tyrian history to shed light on the city's coinage during the Seleucid period, a time when the region was under the rule of the Seleucid dynasty. These coins, previously overlooked in other studies, provide valuable insights into the economic and political dynamics of Tyre during this era. Through a meticulous analysis of the coins' designs, inscriptions, and symbols, the author uncovers information about the city's magistrates, religious practices, and its broader relationships within the Seleucid kingdom. This book enriches our understanding of Tyrian numismatics and offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past, making it a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in the coinage and history of the ancient world.
