The Coinage of Chios Lagos, Constantinos. A STUDY OF THE COINAGE OF CHIOS IN THE HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN PERIODS. Durham: University of Durham, Department of Archaeology, 1998. Two volumes. 4to, contemporary matching maroon leatherette, gilt. (6), 390 + (2), 391–694 reproduced leaves; 48 reproduced plates. Fine. The author’s doctoral dissertation. From the abstract: “The central part of the thesis consists of the chronological arrangement and discussion of the coin series struck by the Chian mint from the beginning of the Hellenistic period (c 332 BC) down to its demise during the late Roman Imperial period (c 270 AD). After establishing a sequence of issue for the individual series I consider other aspects of the coinage, such as patterns of issue, links with the economy, and developments in typology and denominations. These topics are presented and discussed in general chapters following that of the coin series.” While the reproduced plates are of limited value, the text is quite detailed.
