Book 5 from the Sylloge nummorum graecorum series.
A catalogue of the 2,150 ancient pre-imperial Greek coins from Ionia in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Text, and plates are interleaved, so that the description of each coin, which includes physical details, comparanda, provenance information, and accession number, is opposite its photographs. Multiple indices complete the volume.
The catalogue is part of the series of volumes of the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum project, which under the auspices of the British Academy aims to publish major collections of Greek coins. Each volume gives brief descriptions of each coin, along with its suggested date, mint attribution, technical details such as metal and weight, references, provenance and accession number. Text and plates are interleaved, so that each coin description is opposite the photographs of both sides of the coin concerned.
The current volume catalogues the 2150 ancient pre-imperial Greek coins from Ionia in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Owing to the generosity of donors like Dr E. S. G. ('Stanley') Robinson and J. G. Milne, the museum's collection is particularly strong in this area. This and the combined expertise of the contributors makes the volume a new standard reference work for Ionian coins, complete with comprehensive up-to-date bibliography and multiple indices.
About the Author: Dr Philip Kinns was educated at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge (1971-83) as undergraduate in Classics, research student and Research Fellow (1979-83). His PhD (1980) was for a thesis entitled 'Studies in the Coinage of Ionia : Erythrae, Teos, Lebedus, Colophon c.400-c.30 B.C.' He has published many articles on Greek Numismatics between 1983 and 2021, mostly focusing on Ionia, and was an important contributor to A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, especially Volumes V.A (2010) and V.B (2013), having been involved in that major British Academy project for over thirty years. He is author of The Caprara Forgeries (Royal Numismatic Society Special Publication No. 16, 1984). Dr Stanley Ireland, educated at the universities of Hull (BA in Classics 1968) and Cambridge (PhD in Greek Tragedy 1972). In numismatics his most significant publications (apart from vols. I and 2 of the Ashmolean Asia Minor coins) have been catalogues of ancient coins in the museums at Amasra and Amasya in Turkey, the Grand Tour collection of ancient coins of Sir Roger Newdigate, and the South Warwickshire hoard of Roman Denarii. In other areas he has published several editions of Greek and Roman comedies (by Menander and Terence) and a sourcebook on Roman Britain. Dr Volker Heuchert wrote his doctoral thesis on 'Roman Provincial Coins from the Province of Asia in the Antonine Period (AD 138-192)' at the University of Oxford. He then became an Institutional Research Fellow on the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded, Oxford-based 'Roman Provincial Coinage of the Antonine Period (RPC IV) Project'. Afterwards, he worked as Collections Manager of the Heberden Coin Room of the Ashmolean Museum, where he is currently Deputy Keeper and Curator of Greek and Roman Provincial coins.
