Perseus was the last king of Macedonia, the one who dared to challenge the power of Rome and lost the bet. He has minted many tetradrachms which have now been analyzed in this Corpus which classifies 308 different tretradrachms obtained from 63 obverse dies and 272 reverse dies. The most complete previous study on the subject, which however remained unpublished, presented 205 tetradrachms obtained from 58 obverse dies and 116 reverse dies.

At the Numismatic Museum of Athens to examine Perseus' tetradrachms. An incredible emotion!

Hi Fredrico,
Got the book today (that was super fast). Have already started reading and scanned through the rest of it. This is absolutely a lovely book, the plates are wonderful and the references for each coin fantastic. I really appreciate the dual language treatment.

Thank you so much.

I received my copy. Thanks Federeico! It is impressive work. I look forward to getting a Tetradrachm of Perseus on consignment and putting it to use for attribution. Thanks again, Joe

Federico,

I received my copy of your new book 'The Tetradrachms Of Perseus Of Macedonia'. Thank You!

I only have one tetradrachm of Perseus and I was able to attribute it very quickly using your book: De Luca 182 (O40-R165)

Your book is excellent and sure to be the new standard reference for these coins.

I am pleased that not only you were able to easily classify your coin, but that you found it in the catalogue because there are also fakes like this one kept in the medal cabinet of
Bibliothèque nationale de France, which weighs  20.81 g (the average weight of Perseus tetradrachms is 16.80 g before   weight reduction and  15.40 g after) and whose obverse and reverse die have no comparison in
other tetradrachms.

This is another forgery still kept at the coin cabinet of the Bibliothèque nationale de France but which circulated at least a dozen times in the auctions of the 70-80s.

Is there a homepage where I can order the book?
Are there pictures of the fakes in the book, too?
Especially the Christodoulos Tetradrachm fakes would be interesting.
Of the Christodoulos Perseus Drachms I have good pictures of some.

To the Caprara Perseus in BNF, it is very well known and published in Kinns book there number 15.
Funny Hybrids exist To Gortyna and Tenos.
I had uploaded often several pictures of maybe 50% of all Caprara fakes to fake reposts in past but stopped updating and uplading more some time ago.
I only know one of these Caprara fakes sold at auctions within the last 16 years.

I have the BNF fakes already in my file.

In BNF are 2 fakes by Garyphallakis condemned by dodson, too.

"Sold by dealer Zombolamis as a forgery by Christodoulos. However rim of this coin is at 90 degree angle to the field. On known forgeries of Christodoulos the rim slants. Believed to be by Garyphallakis."

To see what the BnF considers to be a fake you have to look at https://catalogue.bnf.fr . In https://gallica.bnf.fr you don't find much information about a coin, but for each coin there is a link to https://catalogue.bnf.fr with the better description (which is in many cases still not good enough :-\).

Here are all four of these forgeries: Click Here
