One silver tetradrachm was a soldier's monthly pay.
No wonder he had so many mints going at once.

Greetings,

Has anyone read or have an opinion on the now two volume set by Bob Bennett and Mike Roberts
"The Wars Of Alexander's Successors"?

Worth getting or just stick with Heckel and Bosworth? I do not see a review in the book section.

Thank you.
