NEW BOOK: COINS OF EASTERN MOUNT OSSA

The Bronze Coins of Eastern Mount Ossa in the Thessalian Perioikic Region of Magnesia ?Homolion, Eureai, Eurymenai, and Melioboia?
(Numismatic Notes and Monographs 173)

by Anna Magdalena Blomley

This monograph examines the Late Classical and Hellenistic bronze coinages of five mints in the Thessalian perioikic region of Magnesia. At the core of this work lies a new die-study of the coins produced by the strategically and economically important coastal cities of Homolion and Meliboia as well as the lesser-known mints of Eureai, Eurymenai, and Rhizous. Combining this die-study with a close examination of the cities' topographical context in a border region between Thessaly and Macedon and drawing on archaeological data from Magnesia and beyond, the monograph addresses key questions concerning the chronology, denominations, and circulation patterns of the bronze issues minted on eastern Mount Ossa. This analysis not only throws new light on coin production in Late Classical and Hellenistic Magnesia, but also allows a discussion of the possible military and non-military functions of the region's different bronze issues.
