Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Dated Alexander Coinage of Sidon and Ake It may be said, without fear of contradiction, that of all the many coins bearing the name and types of Alexander the Great, by far the most important to us are those struck in the two Phoenician cities of Sidon and Ake. This is not because these two coinages are particularly large, or of unusually fine style, or of any considerable importance in ancient times. Compared to certain other Alexander mints of this period (such as Pella, Amphipolis, Babylon, and many others) our two mints were relatively unimportant; and, if, on the whole, the artistic level of the Sidonian issues is not bad, at times even quite fine, that of Ake is almost beneath contempt. The great value and interest of these particular coins to us lies in the fact that they, the only ones of all the mass of "Alexanders" struck before the middle of the third century B. C., are actually dated. Aside from the special interest attached to this fact, so unusual in early Greek coinages, they are, for this very reason, of exceptional assistance to us in dating contemporary but undated Alexander issues of neighbouring mints. In studying such "finds" of this period as happen to contain specimens of our coins these absolutely fix the date post quem of the hoard's burial, and often even indicate the actual year in which the deposit occurred. In fact, these two coinages must form the basis of any study of the Alexander issues of the many mints of Cilicia, Phoenicia, Palestine, Babylonia, and Egypt. That this has already been recognized is clearly shown by the fact that more has been written about Alexander's Phoenician mints than about nearly all of his other mints put together. After the successful labors of such eminent numismatists as G. F. Hill, Dr. Jules Rouvier, R. Dussaud and others, the present writer may indeed be accused of needlessly wasting much time and attention on ground which seems to be so thoroughly worked over. It is hoped that an answer to this will be found in the results of the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This major study by a leading expert is dedicated to the thirty years after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. It deals with the emergence of the Successor monarchies and examines the factors which brought success and failure. Some of the central themes are the struggle for pre-eminence after Alexander's death, the fate of the Macedonian army of conquest, and the foundation of Seleucus' monarchy. Bosworth also examines the statesman and historian Hieronymus of Cardia, concentrating on his treatment of widow burning in India and nomadism in Arabia. Another highlight is the first full analysis of the epic struggle between Antigonus and Eumenes (318-316), one of the most important and decisive campaigns of the ancient world.

War, the most profitable economic activity in the ancient world, transferred wealth from the vanquished to the victor. Invasions, sieges, massacres, annexations, and mass deportations all redistributed property with dramatic consequences for kings and commoners alike. No conqueror ever captured more people or property in so short a lifetime than Alexander the Great in the late fourth century BC. For all its savagery, the creation of Alexander's empire has generally been hailed as a positive economic event for all concerned. Even those harshly critical of Alexander today tend to praise his plundering of Persia as a means of liberating the moribund resources of the East. To test this popular interpretation, The Treasures of Alexander the Great investigates the kinds and quantities of treasure seized by the Macedonian king, from gold and silver to land and slaves. It reveals what became of the king's wealth and what Alexander's redistribution of these vast resources can tell us about his much-disputed policies and personality. Though Alexander owed his vast fortune to war, battle also distracted him from competently managing his spoils and much was wasted, embezzled, deliberately destroyed, or idled unprofitably. The Treasures of Alexander the Great provides a long-overdue and accessible account of Alexander's wealth and its enormous impact on the ancient world.

A large gap exists in the literature of ancient numismatics between general works intended for collectors and highly specialized studies addressed to numismatists. Indeed, there is hardly anything produced by knowledgeable numismatists that is easily accessible to the academic community at large or the interested lay reader. The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage will fill this gap by providing a systematic overview of the major coinages of the classical world. The Handbook begins with a general introduction by volume editor William E. Metcalf followed by an article establishing the history and role of scientific analysis in ancient numismatics. The subsequent thirty-two chapters, all written by an international group of distinguished scholars, cover a vast geography and chronology, beginning with the first evidence of coins in Western Asia Minor in the seventh century BCE and continuing up to the transformation of coinage at the end of the Roman Empire. In addition to providing the essential background and current research questions of each of the major coinages, the Handbook also includes articles on the application of numismatic evidence to the disciplines of archaeology, economic history, art history, and ancient history. With helpful appendices, a glossary of specialized terms, indices of mints, persons, and general topics, and nearly 900 illustrations, The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage will be an indispensable resource for scholars and students of the classical world, as well as a stimulating reference for collectors and interested lay readers.

Pompeius Trogus, a Romanized Gaul living in the age of Augustus, wrote a forty-four book universal history (The Philippic History) of the non-Roman Mediterranean world. This work was later abbreviated by M. Junianus Justinus. Alexander the Great's life has been examined in minute detail by scholars for many decades, but the period of chaos that ensued after his death in 323 BC has received much less attention. Few historical sources recount the history of this period consecutively. Justin's abbreviated epitome of the lost Philippic history of Pompeius Trogus is the only relatively continuous account we have left of the events that transpired in the 40 years from 323 BC. This volume supplies a historical analysis of this unique source for the difficult period of Alexander's Successors up to 297 BC, a full translation, and running commentary on Books 13-15.
