Karsten Dahmen - The Legend of Alexander the Great on Greek and Roman Coins
Published: 2007-02-25 | ISBN: 0415394511, 041539452X | PDF | 200 pages | 5 MB
This outstanding introductory survey collects, presents and examines, for the very first time, the portraits and representations of Alexander the Great on the ancient coins of the Greek and Roman period.
From 320 BC to AD 400, Karsten Dahmen examines not only Alexander’s own coinage and the posthumous coinages of his successors, but also the re-use of his image by rulers from the Greek world and the Roman empire, to late antiquity.
Also including numismatic material that exceeds all previous published works, and well-illustrated, this historical survey brings Alexander and his legacy to life.
