This catalogue sets out to achieve what has not been attempted before - a listing of virtually every main type of ancient Greek coinage. The average collector should be able to locate in this catalogue all the types likely to be encountered, in one denomination or another; the historical notes provide valuable background information.
This second volume covers the city coinages of the Greek east from Syria and Phoenicia to Babylonia and Baktria. North Africa, including the important mints of Kyrene and Carthage form the third part of the catalogue.
The final section is devoted to the regal issues of the principal kingdoms of the Hellenistic Age ending with Cleopatra VII of Egypt whose death brought to an end the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.
(The first volume covers the Greek coins of Europe arranged in geographical order from Spain in the west to the Peleponnese and Crete.)
There are over 4500 coins listed with nearly 2000 illustrations taken from coins in the British Museum, 4 tables of ancient alphabets, 11 maps and an index.
