The paper on Syracusan
Ptolemaic Bronzes at
www.ptolemybronze.com has been updated. Catharine
Lorber prepared a table of control letters and
monograms (as presented in
Calciati) on a variety of Hieron's bronze coinage. This additional analysis further strengthens the ties we initially presented between the '
Ptolemaic'
types and Hieron's coinages.
A collector also contributed an entirely uncatalogued
type to add to the list of 'Syracusan'
Ptolemaic coins and the discussion of chronology of the Hieron portrait/horseman bronze series has been expanded. And a 'missing' illustration or two have been filled in. If you
had a look at the when we first posted it in late December (07) you may wish to give it a fresh look with the revisions in place.
We continue our request to the collector community for submission of 'Syracusan'
Ptolemaic bronzes that may
help us create a die study for publication as well.
