This volume catalogues the British Museum’s holdings from Galatia, Cappadocia, and Syria. It concentrates on Royal and civic issues of central Anatolia and Syria, including Cappadocian kings and Roman provincial mints; useful for regnal sequences, local eras, titulature, monograms, and legacy specimen citations. Entries normally record metal, denomination, weight, diameter, legends, types, rulers or magistrates, acquisition data, and cross-references, while the plates preserve the appearance of many frequently cited specimens. Researchers can use the volume to resolve abbreviated BMC citations, identify individual museum coins, recover old readings and provenances, and understand the evidence on which later classifications were built.
Because the museum collection, inventory records, and scholarship have changed substantially since publication, check catalogue numbers, current attributions, dates, legends, and provenance against the British Museum Collection Online and the latest regional or dynastic corpus.
