Kritt, Brian. Seleucid Coins of Bactria, Classical Numismatic Studies 1. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1996).

Seleucid Coins of Bactria (SCB) presents a detailed study of the Seleucid coinages struck in Bactria from their inception until the loss of the province to the Diodotids. The recently discovered Bactrian city of Aď Khanoum is shown to be the principal mint of the Seleucids in this period, and the source of the extensive series of precious metal coins attributed by Newell to Bactra. A series of Seleucid coins previously attributed to the reign of Seleucus I at Susa is shown to have its origin at a mint in Bactria of uncertain location, possibly at Bactra. This mint began operating c. 290 BC, but coinage production was transfered to Aď Khanoum a few years later, toward the end of the reign of Seleucus I, when coins were issued with the dual names of Seleucus and Antiochus I and bearing the characteristic delta-circle control of Aď Khanoum. This control signature was also found stamped on baked bricks discovered in the French excavations of Aď Khanoum. The powerful evidence of the bricks is supported in SCB by the analysis of a substantial number of Seleucid bronze coins found in the excavations. Nearly all of these bronzes were of types previously unknown, but appearing in quantity in the excavations. Some of these bronzes carried the characteristic delta-circle monogram of Aď Khanoum, while all shared common technical characteristics and progressive die-axis conventions indicating a common origin at the local mint. This was likely anyway based on their nearly exclusive provenances at Aď Khanoum. The precious metal coins with the delta-circle monogram must thus also originate at Aď Khanoum, based on their ties to the local bronze issues by the common monogram, as well as by the direct evidence of the monogram on the bricks. SCB also publishes some new Aď Khanoum bronzes, of types not known from the excavations but attributable there based on the monogram and other technical features. Certain anepigraphic bronzes found in the excavations and believed by the excavators to be pre- or early Seleucid are shown likely to belong to the reign of Antiochus I, removing circumstantial evidence for a fourth century foundation date for Aď Khanoum. A possible link between the Seleucid and subsequent royal Bactrian coins of Aď Khanoum is discussed. Unusual legend conventions are shown to tie a number of uncertain Alexander-type silver coins to possible mints in Bactria. Finally, a group of "horsehead" precious metal coins attributed by Newell to "Carrhae" is reattributed to a mint in Bactria, in the region of Aď Khanoum. (Brian Kritt)

Kritt, Brian. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa, Classical Numismatic Studies 2. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1997).

The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records many new coin varieties of Seleucus I from Susa. The new material, supplemented by recent reattributions, requires a reassessment and reorganization of Seleucus' Susian coinages. Die studies of the tetradrachm issues, analysis of the sequence of controls, and certain anchoring dates have established a new chronology for these coinages. The issues are divided into six periods, spanning the years from 311 to 281 B.C. The study has revealed a dramatic increase in the production rate of the trophy coins of Susa in the years before the battle of Ipsus (301 B.C.), prompting an examination of the relationship of the Susa coinages to those of the other Seleucid mints operating in the late fourth century. It proposes a new interpretation of the purpose of the trophy coinage, related to affairs in Persis, and has in fact identified and dated a native revolt in that province c. 295 B.C. Analysis of the evidence from numerous early third century coin hoards has led to a redating of many of these hoards, and a revised picture of the circulation pattern of Seleucid coinages around the turn of the third century. A new date derived for the commencement of the Susian elephant biga coins has provoked reassessment of the transition of minting operations from Babylon to Seleucia ad Tigrim. The present study proposes a new chronology for Seleucia and identifies a third century coinage of Babylon. Patterns of change in the coinage at the eastern mints during the co-regency of Antiochus with Seleucus have been coordinated with the proposed movements and activities of Antiochus in this period. A new theory is presented for the factors leading to his elevation. Support is presented for the likely attribution to Susa of two important bronze issues, Medusa/bull and Alexander in elephant-skin headdress. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records Aramaic inscriptions, as graffiti on trophy coins, and in the form of die-cut letters on tetradrachms. An unusual new Susian tetradrachm with an Aramaic control component supports a theory of the employment of natives in the Seleucid administration at Susa. The study publishes a small but important mixed hoard of Seleucid trophy coins and early Persid issues, discussing these against the revised chronology of the Susa mint and the beginnings of the Persid coinage.

Kritt, Brian. Dynastic Transitions in the Coinage of Bactria, Classical Numismatic Studies 4. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (2001).

A previous work, Seleucid Coins of Bactria, reassessed the locations of the mints and the sequences of coinage issues of the Seleucids in their eastern-most province, and based on the coins found in the archeological excavations at the recently discovered city of Aď Khanoum, identified the importance of that city as the principal mint of the Seleucids in Bactria in the third century BC. It was also suggested that Aď Khanoum continued to function as a mint for the Diodotids, who seceded from the Seleucid Empire, establishing an independent Greek kingdom in Bactria in the post-Seleucid period. Now a number of new coins have appeared which have provided evidence allowing for the exploration and decipherment of the structure of the coinages in Bactria to the end of the third century BC. In addition, a recent study has established a model for the sequences of the gold and silver coinages of the Diodotid era. This has provided clues leading to new attributions for the bronze coinages in that period, and a template for carrying the mint attributions into the succeeding reign of the king Euthydemus. Another form of evidence now available comes from the recent publications of scholars from the former Soviet Union of the excavation finds from many new archeological sites in Central Asia. This has made possible the development in this study of a clearer picture of the circulation and diffusion patterns of bronze coins from the Bactrian mints of the third century, providing an important new tool for mint identification. The results of these analyses have led to new attributions and chronologies for the third century coinages of post-Seleucid Bactria. The locations and functions of the bronze mints have been established, including a full determination of the role of Aď Khanoum. A complete and rational model of the coinages of Euthydemus has been constructed, with mint attributions, new chronologies, and a correlation with contemporary historical events. The use of master portrait models for the precious metal coinages of this king has been established. Continuities and breaks in the coinage systems associated with the transitions between the three Bactrian dynasties of the third century have been explored. The use by Euthydemus of magistrates and die-cutters from the Diodotid period has been demonstrated, even some from the time of Diodotus I. A new discovery of coinage of Antiochus III in Bactria from his invasion near the end of the third century has been factored into the analysis of the coinages of Euthydemus, providing crucial evidence for the locations of the mints of that king. Using all of these discoveries, a detailed and comprehensive overview of the development and history of the coinages of the entire third century in Bactria has been articulated. (Brian Kritt)

The paper discusses the impact of Macedonia on the monetary policy of Hellenistic Athens in the third century B.C. in the light of Macedonian coins (mainly bronze) discovered in the Athenian excavations, and to some extent on the Attican territory as a whole. A detailed statistical investigation of the coin finds is presented. The paucity of royal silver in Attica and Athens shows that the target area of the Macedonian coinage was somewhere else: none of the Antigonid silver suggested to have been minted in Athens during the occupation of the city before 262/1 B.C. can, in fact, have been minted there. There is also direct evidence that the Macedonian authorities would have restricted local coinage in any way. Existing evidence shows rather that the diminishing Athenian coin volume minted in the third century was more the outcome of the poor economic situation. Numismatic and historical evidence implies that the enormous bulk of Macedonian coinage that was circulated inside Athens ended up in the city indirectly as a result of the impact of the Macedonian garrison stationed in the area or in the form of an otherwise unrecorded donation of coins to the city by Antigonos Gonatas following the restoration of the liberty to Athens in 255 B.C.

Mastrocinque, Attilio. Studi sulle guerre Mitridatiche, Historia-Einzelschriften 124. Stuttgart (1999).

E'trattato il problema delle fonti del libro Mitridatico di Appiano, che fino al cap. 62 deriva da un'autore (Sisenna?) fortemente influenzato dalla politica di Silla e dalle "Memorie" del dittatore, poiché ne giustifica anche le peggiori iniziative. La figura di Mitridate viene presentata come vittima dei generali romani filomariani, e questo serve a giustificare il trattamento benevolo riservatogli da Silla con la pace di Dardano. Dal cap.63 Appiano segue le "Storie" di Strabone. Lo studio delle dracme di Cappadocia permette di stabilire una cronologia precisa degli avvenimenti. La serie di Ariarate IX, figlio di Mitridate, inizia nel 101 e si interrompe con il 97, perché in quellšanno il Senato aveva nominato re Ariobarzane. Quest'ultimo iniziň ad emettere moneta nel 95, quando Silla lo insediň sul trono. Nel 90 perň fu cacciato da Mitridate, che stava approfittando della guerra sociale in Italia; in quell'anno ripresero le emissioni di Ariarate IX e terminarono quelle di Ariobarzane, le quali riprenderanno solo dopo la pace di Dardano, nel 95. Ariarate emise dracme nel 90 e nell'89, ma non nell'88, quando Mitridate aveva in suo potere la Cappadocia: ciň significa che essa era stata annessa al Ponto. Questo fatto determinň l'intervento in forze dei Romani e lo scoppio della guerra. Ariarate riprese allora il suo nome originario,Arkathias e fu messo a capo di truppe armene, ma nell'87 le zecche di Cappadocia ripresero ad emettere dracme a suo nome, probabilmente in segno di ribellione a Mitridate, il quale fece subito avvelenare il figlio Arkathias-Ariarate. Il racconto di Posidonio su Atene e il suo tiranno Atenione č del tutto inaffidabile e deriva probabilmente da resoconti di qualche soldato sillano. Il tiranno di Atene si chiamava Aristione, come provano le emissioni monetali, non Atenione. I "tiranni" di Atene erano in realtŕ i magistrati filomitridatici. Silla negli anni 85-83 costrinse le cittŕ greche a pagare enormi somme di denaro per finanziare la sua guerra contro i Mariani; i banchieri romani si arricchirono con prestiti ad usura alle cittŕ e divennero, per questo, favorevoli a Silla. Lucullo intraprese la seconda guerra Mitridatica, causata non dalla creazione della provincia di Bitinia, ma dal trattato fra Mitridate e Sertorio. Il re del Ponto invase la Bitinia nel 73. Intanto le emissioni di Ariobarzane servirono a sostenere gli eserciti romani e non si interruppero che nel 64, quando il re abdicň. (Attilio Mastrocinque)

Kritt, Brian. Seleucid Coins of Bactria, Classical Numismatic Studies 1. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1996).

Seleucid Coins of Bactria (SCB) presents a detailed study of the Seleucid coinages struck in Bactria from their inception until the loss of the province to the Diodotids. The recently discovered Bactrian city of Aď Khanoum is shown to be the principal mint of the Seleucids in this period, and the source of the extensive series of precious metal coins attributed by Newell to Bactra. A series of Seleucid coins previously attributed to the reign of Seleucus I at Susa is shown to have its origin at a mint in Bactria of uncertain location, possibly at Bactra. This mint began operating c. 290 BC, but coinage production was transfered to Aď Khanoum a few years later, toward the end of the reign of Seleucus I, when coins were issued with the dual names of Seleucus and Antiochus I and bearing the characteristic delta-circle control of Aď Khanoum. This control signature was also found stamped on baked bricks discovered in the French excavations of Aď Khanoum. The powerful evidence of the bricks is supported in SCB by the analysis of a substantial number of Seleucid bronze coins found in the excavations. Nearly all of these bronzes were of types previously unknown, but appearing in quantity in the excavations. Some of these bronzes carried the characteristic delta-circle monogram of Aď Khanoum, while all shared common technical characteristics and progressive die-axis conventions indicating a common origin at the local mint. This was likely anyway based on their nearly exclusive provenances at Aď Khanoum. The precious metal coins with the delta-circle monogram must thus also originate at Aď Khanoum, based on their ties to the local bronze issues by the common monogram, as well as by the direct evidence of the monogram on the bricks. SCB also publishes some new Aď Khanoum bronzes, of types not known from the excavations but attributable there based on the monogram and other technical features. Certain anepigraphic bronzes found in the excavations and believed by the excavators to be pre- or early Seleucid are shown likely to belong to the reign of Antiochus I, removing circumstantial evidence for a fourth century foundation date for Aď Khanoum. A possible link between the Seleucid and subsequent royal Bactrian coins of Aď Khanoum is discussed. Unusual legend conventions are shown to tie a number of uncertain Alexander-type silver coins to possible mints in Bactria. Finally, a group of "horsehead" precious metal coins attributed by Newell to "Carrhae" is reattributed to a mint in Bactria, in the region of Aď Khanoum. (Brian Kritt)

Kritt, Brian. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa, Classical Numismatic Studies 2. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1997).

The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records many new coin varieties of Seleucus I from Susa. The new material, supplemented by recent reattributions, requires a reassessment and reorganization of Seleucus' Susian coinages. Die studies of the tetradrachm issues, analysis of the sequence of controls, and certain anchoring dates have established a new chronology for these coinages. The issues are divided into six periods, spanning the years from 311 to 281 B.C. The study has revealed a dramatic increase in the production rate of the trophy coins of Susa in the years before the battle of Ipsus (301 B.C.), prompting an examination of the relationship of the Susa coinages to those of the other Seleucid mints operating in the late fourth century. It proposes a new interpretation of the purpose of the trophy coinage, related to affairs in Persis, and has in fact identified and dated a native revolt in that province c. 295 B.C. Analysis of the evidence from numerous early third century coin hoards has led to a redating of many of these hoards, and a revised picture of the circulation pattern of Seleucid coinages around the turn of the third century. A new date derived for the commencement of the Susian elephant biga coins has provoked reassessment of the transition of minting operations from Babylon to Seleucia ad Tigrim. The present study proposes a new chronology for Seleucia and identifies a third century coinage of Babylon. Patterns of change in the coinage at the eastern mints during the co-regency of Antiochus with Seleucus have been coordinated with the proposed movements and activities of Antiochus in this period. A new theory is presented for the factors leading to his elevation. Support is presented for the likely attribution to Susa of two important bronze issues, Medusa/bull and Alexander in elephant-skin headdress. The Early Seleucid Mint of Susa records Aramaic inscriptions, as graffiti on trophy coins, and in the form of die-cut letters on tetradrachms. An unusual new Susian tetradrachm with an Aramaic control component supports a theory of the employment of natives in the Seleucid administration at Susa. The study publishes a small but important mixed hoard of Seleucid trophy coins and early Persid issues, discussing these against the revised chronology of the Susa mint and the beginnings of the Persid coinage.

Kritt, Brian. Dynastic Transitions in the Coinage of Bactria, Classical Numismatic Studies 4. Lancaster, Pennsylvania (2001).

A previous work, Seleucid Coins of Bactria, reassessed the locations of the mints and the sequences of coinage issues of the Seleucids in their eastern-most province, and based on the coins found in the archeological excavations at the recently discovered city of Aď Khanoum, identified the importance of that city as the principal mint of the Seleucids in Bactria in the third century BC. It was also suggested that Aď Khanoum continued to function as a mint for the Diodotids, who seceded from the Seleucid Empire, establishing an independent Greek kingdom in Bactria in the post-Seleucid period. Now a number of new coins have appeared which have provided evidence allowing for the exploration and decipherment of the structure of the coinages in Bactria to the end of the third century BC. In addition, a recent study has established a model for the sequences of the gold and silver coinages of the Diodotid era. This has provided clues leading to new attributions for the bronze coinages in that period, and a template for carrying the mint attributions into the succeeding reign of the king Euthydemus. Another form of evidence now available comes from the recent publications of scholars from the former Soviet Union of the excavation finds from many new archeological sites in Central Asia. This has made possible the development in this study of a clearer picture of the circulation and diffusion patterns of bronze coins from the Bactrian mints of the third century, providing an important new tool for mint identification. The results of these analyses have led to new attributions and chronologies for the third century coinages of post-Seleucid Bactria. The locations and functions of the bronze mints have been established, including a full determination of the role of Aď Khanoum. A complete and rational model of the coinages of Euthydemus has been constructed, with mint attributions, new chronologies, and a correlation with contemporary historical events. The use of master portrait models for the precious metal coinages of this king has been established. Continuities and breaks in the coinage systems associated with the transitions between the three Bactrian dynasties of the third century have been explored. The use by Euthydemus of magistrates and die-cutters from the Diodotid period has been demonstrated, even some from the time of Diodotus I. A new discovery of coinage of Antiochus III in Bactria from his invasion near the end of the third century has been factored into the analysis of the coinages of Euthydemus, providing crucial evidence for the locations of the mints of that king. Using all of these discoveries, a detailed and comprehensive overview of the development and history of the coinages of the entire third century in Bactria has been articulated. (Brian Kritt)

The author compiles information on an 1850 hoard discovery, with photocopy and transcription of the 25 March 1850 report to Vienna on the hoard by its discoverer, Francesco Carrara. Cararra listed 76 coins, including one Republican denarius of Marc Anthony, 70 imperial denarii from Galba to Geta, a silver coin of an unidentified eastern mint, a posthumous sestertius of Antonius Pius, an antonianus of Tacitus and two follii of Anastasius. The author posits that the latest three coins may not have been part of the hoard proper, albeit found in the same excavation layer, and examines political developments in the area that might have impelled its burial.
