The Coinages of Demetrius Poliorcetes is a definitive numismatic study that meticulously catalogs and analyzes the diverse currency issued during the reign of one of the most dynamic figures of the Hellenistic age. Written by the esteemed numismatist Edward T. Newell, this scholarly work provides a comprehensive overview of the mints, denominations, and iconographic shifts that characterized the coinage of Demetrius, known as the Besieger.
The text explores the evolution of royal portraiture and the strategic use of divine imagery, such as Poseidon and Nike, which celebrated Demetrius's naval triumphs and his status as a successor to Alexander the Great. Through detailed examination of die-sequences and minting locations-including Pella, Amphipolis, and various cities throughout Asia Minor and Greece-Newell reconstructs the economic and political landscape of the early 3rd century BCE.
This volume is an essential resource for historians, archaeologists, and collectors of ancient coins. It offers profound insights into the Hellenistic monarchy's propaganda and the administrative complexities of managing a vast, shifting empire. By documenting the artistic and technical aspects of these ancient artifacts, The Coinages of Demetrius Poliorcetes remains a foundational text for understanding the intersection of art, power, and commerce in the ancient world.
