NEW BOOKS IN THE MONETA SERIES: #178-179

MONETA 178: Finds and hoards in Belgium
XX. Celtic and Roman antiquity, Supplement 2

In 2012, we published a first supplement relating to monetary finds and treasures of antiquity discovered on the territory. Since then many isolated currencies and a score of important new treasures were unearthed in the country. In addition, a new visit, after plowing, sites already explored previously allowed to complete the inventory and description of several monetary deposits already published.

Thus several hundred isolated currencies were again exposed. Agricultural work have collected new copies for us to complete information on ancient deposits. This is for Gallic coins, Thuin II and III, and for Roman coins of Anthisnes I, Forest Trooz I Wandre I, II and Bellefontaine Heinsch II. On the other hand, the inventory of Roman coin hoards can be enriched with deposits Blaton I Colfontaine I, Gouy-lez-Pedestrian I, II Naast, Péruwelz I Rumes I Thiméon I Freylange I, I Martelange , Rendeux I and II, and finally I Denee Ave-et-Auffe I. This update was all the more necessary that the already published works have met with great success and encouragement from several academic authorities.

This book, as in the past, is structured so that the scientific staff or, more simply, the curious and the lover of local history can easily find there the object of their research since it has easy access both inventories of findings classified in alphabetical order, in a borough by ranking. A chronological table of landfills, updated, naturally complete this study. A bibliography is included at the end of this new volume.

This tool should again not only interest the curious and lovers of local history to discover their roots, but also, of course, numismatists, collectors, archaeologists, historians and economists.

MONETA 179: The Silver Coinage of Istros
This volume represents the most detailed study to date on the very large silver coinage of Istros.

Although the proposed datings and order of certain issues will inevitably undergo changes in future, the fact that silver coins of the classic type were being minted on a regular basis at Istros until the second half of the 3rd century BC can no longer be in any doubt. This is the most important conclusion of this work, and as such has profound implications from a numismatic, archaeological and historical point of view, given that a large number of coins, hoards and archaeological layers, etc., had until now been dated erroneously – based on the silver coins of Istros – to the 4th century BC.

The other publications of Mihai Dima are related to some of the most important Ancient coin hoards discovered in Romania as well as to the coin circulation in Dobrudja during the Roman period.
