Huth, Martin and Peter G. van Alfen. Coinage of the Caravan Kingdoms. Studies in the Monetization of Ancient Arabia. (New York, 2010). ANS Numismatic Studies No. 25. 602 pages, 42 plates. This volume represents the first comprehensive look at ancient Arabian coinage since George Hill's 1922 British Museum catalogue. In addition to a catalogue and updated typologies of Philistian, Nabataean, Minaen, Qatabanian, Sabaean, Himyarite, and Gerrhean coinages, among others, and die studies of the owl and Alexander imitations, this volume features essays written by numismatists, archaeologists, and epigraphists that situate the coins within their political, social, and economic contexts. Very Fine condition.
