PREFACE
Numismatic Literature is a semiannual survey of current publications in or related to numismatics, with abstracts of their contents. Beginning with NL No. 79 (December 1967), bibliographic information and ab¬ stracts have been submitted by an international board of contributing editors, each of whom collects material published in his country. The contents and quality of NL reflect the participation of this editorial board and of individual scholars, whose cooperation can create a truly compre¬ hensive bibliographic tool.
The revisions in format introduced in NL 81 have been maintained, to enable each reader to find and use material in his own Held more easily, while benefitting from work published in peripheral fields. Each issue of NL is now paged separately, rather than consecutively within each issue, and an abstract can therefore be identified by the issue number together with the abstract number, for example, 81-1. Most entries are grouped under broad cultural, geographical or typological sections. In addition, the section Technology and Methodology lists works in which recently developed techniques for numismatic study are described or significant¬ ly applied. The Greek section correlates with the broad definition of Head’s Historia Numorum. At the end of each section is a list of num¬ bered cross references to abstracts with related material in other sec¬ tions.
Author and subject indices are published at the back of each issue. The author index does not include references to the reviews, which are themselves alphabetically arranged by author. The hoard list is a separate list of abstracts in which reference is made to coin hoards.
Periodical titles are abbreviated whenever possible. A cumulative list of periodical title abbreviations is published in the March issue of even- numbered years. Intervening issues contain a cumulative list of addi¬ tions. In this way, the list should become a record of the periodical publications in many fields in which numismatic material appears, and a convenient compilation of abbreviations for scholars.
Although NL is a bibliography of current publications, an effort is being made to include notices of somewhat older publications which are not readily available, or are published in languages which readers are not likely to know, and which were not discovered until the institution of the international board of contributing editors.
Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and may be addressed to the International Editor at the American Numismatic Society. The Editor thanks all those who have contributed to NL, and hopes that participation will continue to grow.

CONTRIBUTING EDITORS
The Contributing Editors listed below provide the international cooperation necessary for the publication of Numismatic Literature. Each Contributing Editor has assumed the responsibility for collecting and forwarding to the International Editor at the American Nu¬ mismatic Society titles and abstracts of all works of serious numismatic interest published in his area. In order that NL may offer the most complete, accurate and current coverage possible, each author is strongly urged to prepare an abstract of his own work at the time of publication, and to send it to the Contributing Editor of the country in which the work was published. A guide for the preparation of abstracts follows the list of Contributing Editors.

Bibliographic Information
All entries must include the following information:
1 . The full name(s) of the author(s)
2. The title of the publication in the original language, but in the Roman alphabet. If the publication is not written in English, French, German or Italian, the original title should be followed by a transla¬ tion into one of these languages.
If the publication is an article in a journal, the following information must also be given:
3. Volume and/or issue number
4. Date of the journal
5. Date of publication, if it is different from the date of the journal
6. Page numbers on which the article appears
7. Number of plates or other illustrations, maps, diagrams, etc.
If the publication is an article in a book of collected works, such as a Festschrift or proceedings of a congress, the following information must also be given:
3. Complete title of the collection
4. Place of publication and name of the publisher
5. Date of publication
6. Page numbers on which the article appears
7. Number of plates or other illustrations, maps, diagrams, etc.
If the publication is a book, the following information must also be given:
3. Edition number and editor's name, if any
4. Place of publication and name of the publisher
5. Date of publication
6. Total number of pages
7. Number of plates or other illustrations, maps, diagrams, etc.

The Abstract
Definition. An abstract is a concise, objective summary or description of the content of a publication. It is different from a review in that an ab¬ stract does not offer critical comment or additions to the original work. Length. Abstracts may be from about 50 to 200 words in length, depend¬ ing upon the importance or complexity of the publication. A long abstract may be desirable when the original publication is not readily available, or is written in a language most readers are not likely to know. Style and Language. Abstracts should be written in complete sentences. They may be submitted in English, French, German or Italian, but will be published in English. All abstracts must include the typewritten, full name of the abstractor.
Non-Current Titles
The International Editor of Numismatic Literature maintains a control file, grouped by country of publication, of all new title cards entered into the Society’s library card catalogue. Cards are removed from this control file as the relevant titles are received from the Contributing Editors. Title cards in the control file are published as they become three years old in order to prevent omission of these titles. Publication of such entries is necessarily limited to bibliographical information only.
NOTE TO CONTRIBUTING EDITORS
Abstracts intended for publication in the March 1981 issue of Numis¬ matic Literature should be received at the editorial office of the Ameri¬ can Numismatic Society, Broadway at 155th Street, New York, N.Y. 10032, not later than November 15, 1980.

Buchanan, T.V. Buttrey, George F. Carter, Cyclone Covey, Thomas A. Lee, Jr., Balaji Mundkur, Allison Paulsen, Hanns J. Prem, Jonathan E. Reyman, Miguel Rivera Dorado, and Norman Totten.
Reported finds of pre-Columbian coins in North America are described and classified, and their behavior is compared with that of Chinese coins found in the Northwest, where there was extensive contact between the Coast tribes and the Orient. It is concluded that no find of an Old World coin is sufficiently well documented to provide evidence for pre-Columbian contact. ( William E. Metcalf)

Data concerning the commercial pound used in Barcelona, Majorca, and Minorca in the ancient, mediaeval, Islamic and modem eras are compiled.

Coins from a Macedonian hoard and from the Veroia (Macedonia) hoard, both dated to A.D. 310, are so similar and present such a characteristic patina that they must come from the same hoard.

Ten specimens are clearly fakes or at least doubtful, whereas 28 pieces, tetradrachms, didrachms, tetrobols, diobols and hemiobols of Attic-Euboean standard, are to be regarded as authentic. The silver was imported from northern Greece, and there are overstrikes on tetradrachms of Acanthus. The ancient coins were minted ca. 485-480 B.C. (Hansjorg Bloesch)

One of Choirion’s tetradrachms of Catana, which were minted in or shortly before 402, and two Kimon tetradrachms of Syracuse, which are to be dated ca, 405, give the date of the deposit of the hoard: shortly before or ca. 400 B.C. at the latest. Two staters of Ambracia and five tetradrachms of Athens which were incorporated into the hoard are compatible with this date. (Hansjorg Bloesch)

There is need for an analytical study of countermarks which would connect them in each case to the particular situations which engendered them.

Greek influence, originating in Sicily, reached Malta only after 160 B.C. and is attested to by coins with Creek legends.

Finds at the town of U§ak are the basis for a discussion of the circulation of Greek Imperials at Temenouthyrai, whose site is identical with that of U$ak. The Aruntius Nichomachus, magistrate of that city who paid for an issue of coins, is identified with an homonymous benefactor who organized gladiatorial combats known from an inscription found at U§ak.

Three clay molds for the casting of folles of Maximian and Maximinus have been acquired in Egypt. The question of the casting of coin in fourth century Egypt is reexamined in the light of the economic situation. Study indicates that the cast coin is not false and that it apparently served the needs of small local markets and was related to the presence of military posts. See also NL 104-67. (Sara Sorda)

The term prosdiagraphomena is explained by lexical comparisons and legal use as a supplement required by the Egyptian authorities to bring up to value the money used in payment of duties to that required by the central authority. It grows from the need to bring various forms of specie of differing nominal value into conformity with the new official valuation of the tetradrachm (whether Ptolemaic or Roman). Moreover, duties had to be paid in tetradrachms because they represented the equivalent of the Roman denarius, which was the only money acceptable in all the provinces for the payment of taxes.

Two fourth century B.C. issues of Syracuse bear the head of Zeus on the obverse and an inscription designating him as ELEUTHERIOS. The two representations are different: the one on bronze has short hair, a long beard, and an olive branch as crown; the other, on all three metals, has long hair bound by three olive branches. The chronology is controversial. The staters of Elis-Olympia and the information resulting from the Gela excavations are used to suggest that the first series is to be dated to 343 B.C. , the second to 339/8 B.C. (Sara Sorda)

A review of the studies on the origin of coinage leads to the conclusion that coins were first invented in Lydia and Ionia, in order to guarantee with a seal the value of the natural electrum whose circulation was compromised by the variability of the alloy. Subsequent diffusion of coinage in Greece is tied to the cities’ need to recoup the silver used for payments. The coin type indicated the circulation area within which the particular coin was preferred. ( Sara Sorda)

Coins with the head of Melkart-Herakles/horse’s head and palm tree are divided into two groups. The first has a forceful character and bears the inscription ‘MMHNT or, more frequently, MHMHNT; the second is simpler and more austere in style and bears the inscription MHSBM. The date of these issues must be contemporary with Agathocles’ coins with Nike erecting a trophy, ca. 300-289 B.C. More recent is the next series of primarily large flat coins with the head of Kore/prancing horse or horse head, or winged horse. Their style dates them to the early years of the First Punic War, ca. 264 B.C. They were apparently minted in Sicily. A note on meaning Panormus, a summary of hoards,
addenda, and an index of specimens are included. See also NL 91-106, 99-159, 101-197.

122 JONES, NICHOLAS F. The Autonomous Wreathed Tetradrachms of Magnesia-on-Maeander. ANSMNVo\. 24 (1979) pp. 63-109 illus.
The second century B.C. stephanophoroi, or ‘‘wreath-bearing” tetra¬ drachms, are studied using 243 specimens including 148 coins from the Kirikhan hoard of 1972. The die study establishes the sequence of emissions of the issues and the hoard evidence, which is supported by epigraphic testimony, yields a range for the entire series of ca. 155 B.C. to ca. 140 B.C. The significance of the eight reverse signatures is also examined and it is suggested that the signatures commemorate an extraordinary “monetary” liturgy. Support is adduced from an inscription from Sestos (W. Dittenberger, Orientis Graeci Inscriptiones Selectae, No. 339) that provides the first evidence for the liturgy anywhere in Greece. The historical context of the series is examined and it is hypothesized that the Asian free cities began striking the large silver in response to Pergamon’s inauguration of a discriminatory economic policy, as evidenced in the introduction of the cistophorus: the free cities struck new silver in order to redirect their trade to other, more attractive markets.

Ambracia began to strike coinage again after an interval of a few decades following 479 B.C. The first emissions of this group are studied by means of stylistic connections with contemporaneous issues of Corinth, Leucas, Corcyra and other minor mints. All these issues seem to have been coined during a brief period when Corinth was preparing an expedition against Corcyra in aid of Epidamnus, ca. 430. ( Sara Sorda)

The coinage is used in a consideration of the economic prosperity of Poseidonia in 480-470 B.C. Comparison of the hoard evidence from Velia and Poseidonia suggests that Velia was in conflict with a still-flourishing Poseidonia and with the Lucani at this time. In the fourth century, however, Velia, in much the position of Naples, was expanding economically and technically into a hinterland already subject to Lucanian influence.

The most varied coinage of the Greek world was struck in the name of Alexander the Great for a period of more than 200 years at more than 100 mints stretching from Macedonia to Iran. Before the coins can properly be used as historical documents, it is essential to identify the mints and times when the coins were struck. The symbols and monograms which accompany the main types and the style of the coins themselves are the two kinds of evidence on which such attributions must be based. The large number of hoards recorded enables the coins to be dated quite closely, even when the mint city is not known.

Egypt occupied an isolated position in relation to the rest of the Roman Empire: she circulated her own coinage, struck at the mint at Alexandria, a coinage which did not circulate outside her own borders just as Roman Imperial and senatorial coinage did not circulate in Egypt. Nevertheless, the existence of a fiduciary coinage which effectively controlled the rate of exchange permitted the maintenance of stable prices in an essentially agrarian economy. The situation deteriorated in the middle of the fourth decade of the second century. ( Sara Sorda)

Finds at the site included many fragments of coin flan molds and other evidence of metal working in one structure which apparently served as a mint in the La Tdne period immediately before the Roman conquest and in the Augustan era. Celtic and Roman coins were also found. X-ray flourescence and neutron activation examination of the molds indicate that both gold and bronze coin flans were cast. {Michael L. Bates)

The ancient comprehension of an image was superstitiously and magically formed by relating the image itself to its representation. This representation acts as a substitute for the original archetype and shows a different form of reality. This comprehension is well documented during late antiquity in official life as well as in magical practice. An emphasis on a person’s position or office against his mere personality is documented for this epoch. Pictorial representations could, therefore, replace effigies of the emperor and other dignitaries. In the Carolingian period the Byzantine practice of pictorial adoration was rejected as non-Christian which demonstrates how far the Byzantine mentality was from the Frankish West. ( Author )

The aureus is dated to A.D. 203, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the reign of Septimius Severus. He is not specifically celebrated on the coin, but every member of the imperial family (including Caracalla) shared in the fortunes of all the others. The association of Laetitia with the games should be understood both as popular enthusiasm and as celebration of the power of all the rulers.

In general, representation of foreigners on Roman coins is limited to to those who are shown as vanquished. Their ethnic identification is limited to a few particulars. The use of such figures is irregular and is often related to some family recollection or contemporary individual achievement.

From A.D. 64 imitations filled the need for small change which arose from the closing of the mint of Lyon. They were made throughout Britain, on the Rhine and in Gaul, and were recognized by local governors and circulated at a value equal to that of the pieces they imitated. From ca. 270-75 to the end of the third century, the majority of the imitations were antoniniani and minimi, especially throughout Britain and Gaul. The antoniniani were cut into four parts, which became four minimi. ( Sara Sorda)

222 BRUUN, PATRICK. The Negotiations of the Conference of Camuntum. QTicNumAntClas Vol. 8 (1979) pp. 255-78 illus.
The diffusion of obverse types of Augusta Galeria Valeria, wife of Galerius, from the time of the conference of Camuntum is discussed. The historical and economic implications are examined for the same period. ( Sara Sorda)
223 BRUUN, PATRICK. The Successive Monetary Reforms of Diocletian. ANSMN Vol. 24 (1979) pp. 129-48 Ulus.
Using the coinages of Siscia and Heraclea as evidence, it is contended that the first Diocletianic monetary reform, introducing the nummus, was carried out gradually (from A.D. 293) and not simultaneously in all parts of the Empire. As a consequence, the production of nummi did not necessarily interrupt the production of antoniniani, which were expected to circulate together with the new coins. Only the second phase of the reform, in A.D. 301, aimed at removing the antoniniani. An analysis of the argentei of the tetrarchic silver coinage is adduced in support of the gradual reforms of the monetary system; it is suggested that the main varieties of the type “four at sacrifice” and the camp gate reverse were introduced contemporaneously at the mints active at the time of issue. The argentei of the “four at sacrifice” type are generally dated to A.D. 293-97, the “camp gate with four turrets” to A.D. 303-5. The view that no argentei were struck in the last years of the First Tetrarchy, therefore, is challenged. ( Author )

The find made at Langford, Bedfordshire, consisted of 25 coins, dating up to A.D. 155. All were asses except for a worn coin of Domitian, which was struck from a dupondius die on the copper flan of an as.

More than a third of them are imitation issues struck between 353-64 even though certain of the billon issues which served as models were issued between 330-46. After 364 there were no more billon issues in circulation but rather gold, silver or copper coinages. (Author)

The crisis of SOI caused a fall in silver and a greater one in gold. Bronze, however, was manipulated by the state and overvalued. After 318 the nummus was broadly circulated and it too progressively lost weight. The centenionalis was introduced about 348. At this time, as the texts indicate, there was a considerable rise in prices everywhere, without distinction between Egypt and the West. Nevertheless, the cen¬ tenionalis did not disappear: in 395 it was monopolizing the market, in the form of Aesi . ( Sara Sorda)

An abnormal striking, probably manipulated in ancient times to hide the differences between the obverse and reverse dies (16.5 mm obverse, 18 mm reverse), was made from an obverse of an argenteus of Treveri (Trier) dating from the era of Constantine I Caesar and a reverse of a Heraclea or Nicomedia follis of 321-24.

A treasure of 102 aurei and 17 gold multiples reportedly recovered from a wreck in the Mediterranean is catalogued and discussed. Apart from a single aureus of Probus, the coins and medallions are of the First, Second and Third Tetrarchies, and of the Maxentian period. Many are new and unpublished except for their inclusion in RIC Vol. VI. The 53 pieces of the Maxentian period include most of the multiples, and this portion at least appears to represent a donativum. The absence of any coins from the mint of Ostia and the internal evidence of the coins and multiples suggest that the treasure was closed in A.D. 308, and that part of it may derive from a donativum on the occasion of Maxentius’ consul¬ ship in April, 308.

Bronze coins of the Roman Empire found at Montereau were subjected to X-ray fluorescence. Most were poorly preserved and classed as barbarous. Metallic analysis did aid in classification. Among the coins with the portrait of Agrippa, for example, it was possible to distinguish good and poor imitations which must have had different provenances. See also NZ.104-65. ( L . Lotringer)

A reassessment of the position of Magnus Maximus in relation to Britain is offered, suggesting that a revision of his role is needed in the light of literary and numismatic evidence. It is argued that the second issue of coins by Maximus at the London mint is associated with a visit by him to Britain in 384 after he had established his court at Trier.

Historiographic tradition associates the devaluations at Rome with well-determined causes and effects: on the one hand, lack of precious metal, growing needs of the state, need for currency tied to urbanization; on the other, variation in weight and fineness of the coins, growth in circulating medium, variation in prices. The state responded to this situation by reorganizing its outlays for military and civic expenditures, and its fiscal income. ( Sara Sorda )

The devaluations at Rome from the beginnings of coinage to the reign of Constantine fall into two categories: reduction of the metallic content of a denomination, and reduction of its face value. The first case is likely to cause public distrust, with the earlier, better coins consequently being withdrawn and melted; the second results from public distrust and recognizes an unofficial devaluation already in existence.

The factors that governed the production and circulation of bronze coinage in the late Roman Empire are discussed. Assemblages of coins from a number of excavated sites as well as hoards are considered. Although the eastern empire is included, the study stresses Britain, Gaul and Germany. It is argued that minting and the changing patterns of circulation were as much influenced by the developing character of regional economies as by the needs of the Imperial government to pay its debts.

The gross pay of the Roman soldier did not rise between the times of Polybius and Caesar, in spite of inflation. The insufficiency of military pay was perhaps noticed less because of the progressive proletariata- zation of the army and especially, after 107 B.C., because of the use of spoils, donatives, and rewards in land or in money. After 30 B.C. Augustus tried to satisfy the veterans with assignments of land or distributions of money in order to avoid a raise in pay. Domitian raised the pay to 300 denarii per annum, but he simultaneously reduced the roll of the troops. ( Sara Sorda)

A discussion of the end of Roman Britain asserts that it forms part of the general “fall of the Roman Empire.” Britain, like other provinces, suffered from the inadequacy of the imperial armies, fiscal pressure, and its repudiation of Roman authority. Once Britain ceased to be a Roman province it no longer received supplies of coin and it reverted to a coinless economy, perhaps because the need for coined money disappeared with the Roman fiscal system.

Until the end of the second century, the Flavian era shows monetary stabilization and development. The monetary policy of Vespasian, Titus and Domitian inclined toward the creation of a unified market for the whole Imperium. Oriental minting, except for Alexandria, was limited. Almost the entire production of coins was concentrated in Rome and the number of issues increased, especially of quinarii, semises and quadrans. Bronze cast coins and countermarked coins virtually disappeared.

Study of the issues from these sites clarifies the picture of monetary circulation which is given by the hoards buried in northern Gaul in the second half of the third century. The representation of the mint of Rome is almost equivalent to that of the mints of the Gallic emperors while in the hoards the latter predominate. Local imitations are found in considerable numbers in the sites as well as in the hoards. Aurelian and Probus are well represented in the sites which, by contrast, are poor in coins of Carus and of his family and also in antoniniani of Diocletian and his co-rulers. ( Hdlene Huvelin )]

In the era of Polybius, soldiers received two obols (equal to a quarter denarius or a sestertius) per day. The revaluation of the denarius to 16 asses occurred at the same time as the uncial reduction of the as, at the end of the third century. The revaluation of the quadrigatus in terms of asses and the general reassessment of the relative values of different metals broke down the parallelism between Roman gold and Etruscan coinage with signs of value.

The incidence of monetary devaluations is studied with respect to the census system, from the time when this began to be reported in monetary sums. At the beginning of the First Punic War the system was based on a scale which extended from 12,500 to 100,000 asses, and was retained unaltered until ca. 179 B.C. when the census of the first class was raised to 120,000 asses. Before 129 B.C., the census of the fifth class was set at 1,500 asses. The relationship between the introduction of the sestertius as the unit of account and the equestrian census is analyzed.

The temple of Venus and Roma, as it is shown on the coins, reveals that it was only completed under Antoninus Pius. The temple of Matidia poses certain problems because of its divergences from the original. The last monument represented by the Rome mint under Hadrian is the Pons Aelius.

The first appearances of the goddess Venus on denarii of the second century were connected with the political ambition of the nobles who wanted to claim direct descent from the Trojans. Only from Sulla onward was Venus used on the coins to indicate personal power, and the example was followed by Caesar, Pompey, and Octavian/ Augustus.

The type of Venus appears almost exclusively on coins of the empresses. The motivations for its appearance were varied: the desire to associate oneself with Caesar and Augustus ( Vespasian/Titus, Trajan); dynastic assertions (Domitian, the Antonines); celebration of Venus as progenetrix of the Imperial family (Hadrian); celebration of the centenary of Rome (Antoninus Pius).

the majority were corroded with the design, legend and die axis obliterated. Of the 355 coins listed as obverse and reverse not distinguishable, many showed some indication of being VICTORIA or SALVS types of the late fourth century. The proportion of barbarous coins may be higher than indicated in the list for only coins showing clearly barbarous features were so listed. The coins were chance losses and the small coins and large issues were well represented with very few of the larger, more valuable coins. Apart from the Antoninus Pius coins, the issues cover the period A.D. 269 to a date after A.D. 392.

Metrological analysis shows a constant uniformity of weight in all the issues in precious metals. This was due to the strict controls exercised by the princeps. In contrast, the number of the issues of individual mints was extremely varied. The triumvirs at Rome probably struck coins contemporaneously, each at his own officina. (Sara Sorda)

Coins struck for Valerian, showing the prince with head shaved except for the lock of Horus, testify to the diffusion at Rome of the Alexandrian religion (and in particular Isiac) at the middle of the third century. The coins also represent one form of the dynastic propaganda of Valerian and Gallienus, tied to the idea of an hereditary monarchy of oriental type, which had already been proposed by many emperors and which found its culmination in Caracalla.

In the Byzantine world the connection between coin types and the official attitudes of the monarch is evident. Between Tiberius II Constantine and Leo III Isauricus (first issue) emphasis is on the transcendental basis of the authority of the sovereign in his capacity as vicar of Christ. Subsequent issues reflect the iconoclast ideology and substitute the figure of the emperor for any religious motif. Similarly in the coinage of the Longobard Duchy of Beneventum (whose beginnings should be dated between 659 and 668) the connections of subjection, tension, and opposition vis-i-vis the Byzantine Empire and other powers are reflected from time to time.

The solidus D. THEODEBERTUS REX/PAX ET LIBERTAS, Victory on the left holding a large cross, with gown turned up and right leg raised, was struck at Marseille by Theodebertus between 546 and 548. The legend on the reverse, borrowed from Roman ideology, is an appeal for the liberation of the peoples of Italy and Greece, launched by the minister Parthenius against Justinian and his barbarous allies.

The state of the art in the study of Islamic numismatics is described. Section 1 deals with general reference works, including surveys, bibliographies, handbooks, mint lists, and general mediaeval works. Research and study facilities are treated in section 2 which lists and describes the major public collections of Islamic coins in North America and the world. Section 3 describes the state of the art in scholarship on general problems in Islamic numismatics, including research on inscriptions (epigraphy, mint names, rulers’ names, and religious statements), on images and ornaments, on die studies, hoards and metrology and fineness. Studies of Islamic mints, their technology and administration, and of Islamic monetary history are also listed and evaluated, with suggestions for future study. Section 4 deals with studies of the numismatics of particular series within Islamic numismatics. Within broad chronological periods, the treatment is regional. The first installment evaluates publications on the era of the RashidQn and Umayyad caliphs (A.D. 632-750), the period of the ‘Abbasid caliphate and its contemporaries (A.D. 750-946), and the autonomous regional dynasties (A.D. 946-1250). The second installment of section 4 treats specialized studies of the late mediaeval dynasties, A.D. 1250-1517, and the early modem empires from about 1517 to the advent of machine struck coinage.
