Frolova-Ireland

Frolova, N. & S. Ireland. The Coinage of the Bosporan Kingdom From the First Century BC to the Middle of the First Century AD. BAR International Series 1102. (Oxford, 2002).


Having already published material from the Neronian reforms of the 60s AD to the mid-4th century AD (BAR 1983 and 1979), this volume presents Bosphoran coinage from the incorporation of the Bosphorus into the kingdom of Mithradates VI of Pontus up to Nero 's time. Essentially a corpus of material, it presents coinage from the State Historical Museum in Moscow and the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, as well as smaller collections in Russia and the West. A short introduction precedes the catalogue and plates.
