This volume presents for the first time an authoritative and systematic account of the coins minted in the Roman province of Asia. The aim of the book is to give a complete picture of the material, thereby not only meeting the needs of numismatists but also providing an essential reference for historians, epigraphists, archaeologists and other students of the Roman empire. Covering the years from the short reign of Gordian I in AD 238 to the death of Gordian III in 244, this volume examines the coinage of almost 100 cities throughout the province. The introduction and catalogue, written in French, are followed by indexes and an illustration of every major issue listed.
