This paper presents a die-study of the bronze coinage of Arsinoe-Methana in the Argolid, issued under both names of the city. The chronology of the issues is re-examined and on the basis of hoard evidence it is suggested that the issues of Methana must postdate those of Arsinoe, rather than vice versa. As a result it emerges that Methana issued no coinage before the establishment of the Ptolemaic base on the peninsula. Furthermore, all evidence disappears for the existence of an independent city before the creation of the Ptolemaic foundation.

In 2015 two cavers reported to the Israel Antiquities Authority a hoard of ancient silver jewelry and two coins from an inner chamber of the ‘Kamun Cave’, a large karst cave in Western Galilee. A comprehensive archaeological survey followed, on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, in cooperation with Hebrew University’s Cave Research Center. This article discusses the two coins from the hoard, and another (bronze) coin found in the survey, and establishes their dates. From the hoard’s estimated burial date it is suggested that the cave served as a refuge for people fleeing from the fighting in the region during the Diadochi period.

In this paper I suggest that there was a paradigm shift in Greek coinage in the second century BC. This did not manifest itself in the form of the iconographic preoccupations of individuals or families, but rather in a new view of communal identity, which may be witnessed in other aspects of civic behaviour in the same period.

This paper offers a preliminary examination of what the ecavation coins of may (1) tell us of the behaviour of coins within the town of Thonis-Heracleion; (2) reveal about the pattern of coin finds observable at Thonis-Heracleion compared to those at three other sites for which figures are available; and (3) contribute to reconstructing the picture of coin production and coin use in the Delta region in the late Classical and early Hellenistic Periods.

This paper discusses Nomisma.org, a collaborative effort to define numismatic concepts within the linked open data environment. Nomisma.org, created in 2010, defines thousands of concepts, represented by XHTML+RDFa available at stable URIs. The paper also includes test cases for the integration of Nomisma. org URIs into the application architectures at three organisations: why the institutions chose to adopt these concepts and what can be gained by their integration.

After the conquests of Alexander the Great coinage took on new forms and spread into geographic regions it had not previously reached. Moreover it began to be issued into and used within new political and economic constructs, and it arguably started to reach sectors of the economy for which it had previously been unsuited for use. This paper focuses on these four types of change: form, geographic spread and an attendant shift in scale, systemic change and manipulation, and diversification of use. It offers outlines of the evidence for them as it is exhibited by some of the coinage, and also suggests ways in which numismatists and economic historians of the ancient world have attempted to rationalise or explain them.

This paper details a current project at the American Numismatic Society: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE), an open-access catalogue of Roman Imperial coin types. The paper discusses linked data approaches applied to numismatic collections, the application architecture of the project, and the practical functionality of the project’s web interface, illustrating its value to researchers.
