This volume follows the coinages of central and eastern Anatolia and the eastern Mediterranean, treating kingdoms, satrapies, dynasts, and civic mints from the archaic through Hellenistic periods. Researchers will find discussions of ruler sequences, local eras, monograms, legends, denominations, and iconographic borrowing, together with references to public and private collections. It is particularly helpful for understanding the older scholarly framework behind many citations to Cappadocian, Cilician, Cypriot, and Phoenician series.

Because the work predates much of the archaeological and die-study evidence now available, check its chronology, ethnic and dynastic assignments, metrological reconstructions, and theories about the origins or diffusion of coinage against archaeological contexts, current regional corpora, modern hoard studies, and recent historical work.
