Coins of Philip, Alexander, and the Successors

Post by rocktupac »

Could someone suggest a few books that deal (as completely as possible) with the coins minted by Philip, Alexander, and the Successors? Or at least with Philip and Alexander?

I am not so much interested in the issue date, minting process, etc. as I am in the iconography depicted on the coins. Thanks for your help!

Best i could come up with was Alexander's Drachm Mints I: Sardes and Miletus (Hardcover)
~ Margaret Thompson (Author) which is on Amazon, not read it myself so not sure how good it is. Hope this helps.

Thanks! Hopefully I will be able to order that book and the second volume (Lampsacus and Abydus). If all works out I should get them both soon. Thanks again.
