ASHTON, R. & HURTER, S. (Editors) Studies in Greek Numismatics in memory of Martin Jessop Price.
London, 1998. xvi, 400 pages; 80 plates including a frontispiece portrait. Casebound in cloth.This major new volume, honouring the memory of Martin J. Price who died in 1996 is a milestone in new studies on Greek numismatics. Amongst the contributors are many of today's leading numismatists, and the topics reflect Price's universal knowledge which covered Greek coinage from its inception to the Roman period. Many concentrate around his areas of special interest: the beginnings of coinage, Greek bronze coinage, kings Philip and Alexander of Macedon, Asia Minor prior to Alexander's campaign, and Greek bronze of the Roman period (colonial bronzes). One of Martin Price's credits was the inauguration of the series Coin Hoards, and, fittingly, several of the contributors present coin hoards to his memory. An appreciation by Roger Bland and an Introduction by Georges Le Rider, together with a full Bibliography of Martin Price's published work, by M I Stefanakis complete the volume. (Ref: 2215)
