Warren, J. Leicester. GREEK FEDERAL COINAGE. Argonaut, Inc., Chicago. 1969. 12mo. 73, (7) pages. original brown cloth, gilt. Facsimilie reprint of the 1863 edition. Maps. English text. Fine. This book is an essential numismatic reference that explores how ancient Greek "Leagues" - such as the Achaian, Lykian, and Boeotian - used a unified currency to express political unity and power. Originally published in 1863 as An Essay on Greek Federal Coinage, Warren's work was a pioneering attempt to use coin evidence to prove the existence and reach of these early federal governments. For those collecting ancient Greek coins, it provides a "vivid index" of how minting practices reflected the cooperation between member cities, offering a historical framework to categorize and understand federal issues that might otherwise be confused with individual city-state (polis) coinage. Lot weight: 0 lbs 11oz. Subject(s): Ancient Greek Coinage.
