Watch List notes:

METCALF W. E. - The Silver Coinage of Cappadocia, Vespasian-Commodus. New York ,1996, 173 pp., 54 pls. Hardback, cloth. A hoard of over 900 silver coins was discovered in Cappadocia, probably in Caesarea, in 1983. A catalogue of the hoard is followed by an illustrated conspectus of the silver coinage minted in Caesarea between the reigns of Vespasian and Commodus. A major conclusion is that not all Cappadocian silver was actually struck in Caesarea. Metcalf argues that portions of the coinage of Vespasian and his family, of Trajan, and of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus were actually produced at Rome; and that all the coinage of Domitian was struck there. The volume concludes with five appendices (including a discussion of the silver and copper coins, "ghost" coins, and a concordance with Sydenham) and four indices.
