Michael P. Theophilos explores the fascinating variety of numismatic contributions to Greek lexicography, pertaining to lexicographic studies of the Second Temple period in general, and the New Testament in particular. Theophilos considers previous scholarly attempts to grapple with, and incorporate, critical numismatic material into the emerging discipline of Greek lexicography - including foundational work by F. Preisigke and E. Kiessling - before outlining his own methodological approach. Theophilos' then examines the resources available for engaging with the numismatic material, and presents a series of specific case studies throughout the New Testament material. His carefully annotated images of coins draw readers in to a greater understanding of the material culture of the Greco-Roman world, and how this impacted upon the Greek language and the New Testament.

Monetary law is essential to the functioning of private transactions and international dealings by the state: nearly every legal transaction has a monetary aspect. Money in the Western Legal Tradition presents the first comprehensive analysis of Western monetary law, covering the civil law and Anglo-American common law legal systems from the High Middle Ages up to the middle of the 20th century. Weaving a detailed tapestry of the changing concepts of money and private transactions throughout the ages, the contributors investigate the special contribution made by legal scholars and practitioners to our understanding of money and the laws that govern it. Divided in five parts, the book begins with the coin currency of the Middle Ages, moving through the invention of nominalism in the early modern period to cashless payment and the rise of the banking system and paper money, then charting the progression to fiat money in the modern era. Each part commences with an overview of the monetary environment for the historical period written by an economic historian or numismatist. These are followed by chapters describing the legal doctrines of each period in civil and common law. Each section contains examples of contemporary litigation or statute law which engages with the distinctive issues affecting the monetary law of the period. This interdisciplinary approach reveals the distinctive conception of money prevalent in each period, which either facilitated or hampered the implementation of economic policy and the operation of private transactions.

Volume II now extends coverage of the Imperial series from Nerva, the 'thirteenth Caesar' and first of the 'Adoptive' emperors, down to the overthrow of the Severan dynasty in 235. It encompasses what may justifiably be termed the 'golden age' of the Roman imperial coinage. The full development of the Augustan system of coin denomination and perfection of the method by which government propaganda was communicated to the citizenry through the medium of coinage both reached their peak during these fourteen decades.

Another volume of the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, Czech Republic project has been published by the National Museum in cooperation with the Czech Numismatic Society in the end of 2021. The catalogue presents the collection of Egyptian provincial coins, collected by ing. Luboš Král, a long-standing member of the Czech Numismatic Society. In total, 584 coins is represented in this volume including a small quantity of duplicates (always stuck from different dies). The core of the collection consists of Alexandrian issues; coins of the Egyptian nomes, which are quite rare, are represented by mere two specimens (nos. 583–584). The collection documents the coin production in Egypt from the time of Augustus till the end of the provincial mint in 295/6. The basic criteria for incorporation into the collection have been the quality and good state of preservation of the numismatic material allowing its further classification. The presence of coins of particular rulers reflects their occurrence on the numismatic market as well as different volume of mint production. It is most apparent in the case of coinage from Augustus to Caligula and later of Marcus Aurelius and especially Septimius Severus and Caracalla, showing considerable decline. The core of the collection (almost 65%) consists of 3rd century coins from Elagabal till the rulers of the first Tetrarchy. The collection illustrates also the restrain from multi denominational system consisting of tetradrachms and several bronze denominations. From the reign of Commodus on, only tetradrachms are present in this catalogue. Na konci roku 2021 vyšel další svazek edice Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (Česká republika), jehož vydavatelem je Národní muzeum ve spolupráci s Českou numismatickou společností. Kniha zveřejňuje sbírku epyptských provinciálních mincí, shromážděnou dlouholetým členem ČNS ing. Lubošem Králem. V knize je prezentováno 584 ražeb, jen malém množství se zde vyskytují duplikáty stejného typu – vždy jde však o různá razidla. Jádro souboru reprezentují alexandrijské ražby, egyptské nomy jsou zastoupeny pouze dvěma kusy (č. 583–584), neboť se na trhu vyskytují jen vzácně. Sbírka se snaží dokumentovat vývoj mincovní produkce od Augusta až do zániku provinciální mincovny v roce 295/6. Základním kritériem pro ražby zařazené do souboru je jejich dobrá zachovalost umožňující přesné určení. Zastoupení panovníků ve sbírce odráží především četnost výskytu na trhu, ale zprostředkovaně i menší objemy mincovní produkce. Dobře zřetelné je to u mincí od Augusta do Caliguly, znovu pak za Marka Aurelia a především za Septimia Severa a Caracally, kdy je z hlediska známých typů zřetelný propad produkce. Jádro kolekce (téměř 65 %) tvoří ražby z průběhu 3. století od Elagabala až k panovníkům prvé tetrachrie. Sbírka rovněž dokumentuje ústup od více nominálového peněžního systému tvořeného tetradrachmami a několika bronzovými nominály – počínaje Commodem jsou zde zastoupeny již pouze tetradrachmy.

Drawing from a variety of sources - literary, visual, archaeological; papyri, inscriptions and coins – the author studies the nature of Diocletian’s imperial strategy, his wars, his religious views and his abdication. The author also examines Galerius’ endeavour to take control of Diocletian’s empire, his failures and successes, against the backdrop of Constantine’s remorseless drive to power. The first comprehensive study of the Emperor Galerius, this book offers an innovative analysis of his reign as both Caesar and Augustus, using his changing relationship with Diocletian as the principal key to unlock the complex imperial politics of the period.
