Dear Chris!
In their series "The Coins of
Moesia inferior I-III c.A.C", Prof. Jekov and Prof. Hristova have undertaken to publish a monograph of all
Roman mints located in present-day
Bulgaria. The numbering system of their catalogues is also geared to this.
Sadly, Nina Hristova died in May 2017. I
had the honour of working with them since 2007. Initially I
had also worked on Markianopolis, but then limited myself to
Nikopolis ad Istrum, where I am co-author.
The following mints are involved:
(1)
Augusta Trajana
(2) Anchialos
(3)
Apollonia Pontika
(4)
Deultum(5)
Dionysopolis(6) Markianopolis
(7) Mesambria
(8)
Nicopolis ad Istrum(9) Nicopolis ad Nestum
(10)
Odessos(11)
Pautalia(12)
Serdica(13)
PhilippopolisTo date, the following volumes have been published:
(5)
Dionysopolis 2003
Bulgarian Softcover
(6) Markianopolis 2014
Bulgarian Hardcover
(7) Mesambria 2020
Bulgarian Hardcover
(8) Nkipolis ad Istrum 2021 English Hardcover
(9) Nicopolis ad Nestum 2007
Bulgarian Hardcover
(12) Serdika 2007
Bulgarian Hardcover
The most comprehensive
work is
Nikopolis ad Istrum with an enormous number of
types, which seem to have no end, and which therefore regularly appears in new editions. Whether Prof.Jekov intends to do the same with the other mints, I do not know.
In any case, the softcover edition of
Dionysopolis differs from the hardcover editions in its numbering system and its layout. Whether it will be published again as hardcover edition, I do not know either.
With kind regards
Jochen
