Condition: New in no jacket pp. 272. This English translation of Georges Le Rideris comprehensive study of the coinage and financial policy of Alexander the Great brings, for the first time, the magisterial scholarship of one of the worldis greatest living numistatists before an Anglophone public. For more than 40 years Le Rider has published fundamental studies on the coinages of the ancient Middle East and eastern Mediterranean world, particularly from the time of Philip II (Alexanderis father), Alexander himself, and the Seleucid Empire. Throughout his career Le Rider has demonstrated a rare and unusual ability to combine the meticulous analysis of coins and coin hoards with interpretations that convey the historical significance of the finds. This study of Alexanderis finances draws the reader over and over again from detailed analysis and scholarly controversy into a compelling evocation of a canny and pragmatic world conqueror. Illus.
