Ashton studies a defined series of Rhodian didrachms with a radiate head of Helios and a rose, distinguishing issues by their letters and accompanying symbols. A specimen and die catalogue underpins the discussion of sequence and dating, with hoards providing additional context. The paper is a focused starting point for comparing the controls of these didrachms rather than treating every Helios-and-rose silver coin as part of one undifferentiated series.
