PREFACE

This

study began

as a

treatment

f

a

large

hoard of silver

coins

of

Cappadocia

extending

from he

reign

of

Vespasian

to that

of

Corn-

modus. As

study

of the hoard

proceeded

t

became evident that its

implications

orthe mint

of Caesarea were

considerable,

nd a

secon-

dary objective

became feasible: he

presentation

f a

conspectus

f the

silver

coins of Caesarea in

Cappadocia

from

the

reign

of

Vespasian

through

hat of

Commodus.

The

study

s limited n two

ways.

The

coppercoinage

s omitted

or,

the

types part,

there s little

direct

onnection

etween he

silver nd

the

baser coins

of

Caesarea. The silver

coinage

s continuous nd sta-

ble,

while the

copper

s

sporadic

and of

unpredictable

tandard. The

copper

issues are

often

asynchronous

nd

frequently, ominally

t

least,

struck n

local

authority;

while,

t will be

argued, duringmany

periods he silver oinage s directly onnectedwith, fnotproduced t,

the

imperial

mint at Rome.

The

chronological

imitations re

dictated

mainly by

the hoard

itself. Its

evidence

conveniently

buts

that

assembled

and

graciously

made

available)

by

Dr. Andrew

Burnettof

the British

Museum,

now

incorporated

n

Roman

Provincial

Coinage

1.

On the one hand the

coinage

of the

subsequent

period

s so

fullyrepresented

n the

hoard

that the

need for

more xtensive

urvey

f

material

preserved

world-

wide

has been

obviated;

on the

other,

o extend

the

study beyond

the

terminus f the

hoard would

have involved

many

years' delay

in treat-

ing the mostdifficult eriodof Caesarea's silvercoinage.

The

work s

divided into two

parts.

The first s

a

straightforward

and rather

pare

catalogue

of coins from

he

portion

f the

hoard exa-

mined t the

ANS.

As

appropriate,

ie

linkage

o a

second

part

of

the

hoard,

ecorded

y

Dr.

WolframWeiserof

Cologne,

s noted.

Commen-

taries on the

coinage

of the

several

reigns

s well

as sections

dealing

with

general

problems

referboth

to the

hoard

catalogue

and to

the

conspectus,

which onsists f

a

summary

f the known

ilver

oinage

of

the

mint. It

rests

primarily

thoughby

no means

exclusively, articu-

larlyfor hesmallerdenominations) n theevidence of thehoard,but

some

differencesf

presentation,

ecessitated

by

an

attempt

to illus-

trate

internaldie

linkage

in

the

hoard

catalogue,

will

be

noted.

X Preface

This

publication

has been

long

n

preparation

ut

it

would not have

been

possible

at all without the

cooperation

of

many

individuals.

During

the brief

period

that the hoard

was

available

for

xamination

and

recording,my colleagues

Dr. CarmenArnold-Biucchi nd Dr. Alan

M. Stahl

dropped

other

projects

o assist

n the

sorting

nd

identifica-

tion of

dies,

and

CarmenArnold-Biucchi ontinued

o be involved n

study

of

the hoard afterthe

coins

left the

premises.

To Alan

Stahl

belongsthe creditfordiscovery fthe bilingualTrajanic didrachms.

On

very

short

notice,

Robert J.

Myers

donated

his

time, abor,

and

materials o create

the

photographic

ecord

which

permitted

more ei-

surely

study,

and which has been used

for the

plates.

I

have also

profited

rom iscussion

with and

assistance

fromAndrewM. Burnett

and

Dr. Ian A. Carradiceof

the British

Museum,London,

Dr. Michel

Amandry

f the Cabinet

des

Médailles, Paris,

and WolframWeiser.

Dr. Günther

Dembski of the

Staatliche

Kunstsammlung,

ienna,

Dr.

Christopher

owgego

of the Ashmolean

Museum,Oxford,

nd Dr. H.-

D. Schultz

of the Staatliche

Museen

zu Berlin all

provided

casts on

shortnotice. Richard G. McAleeof Baltimore hared nformationnd

photographs

f

coins

n his

collection,

nd

Claudia

Ocello

assistedwith

the

final

photographs.

The

manuscript

was

brought ogether

n

final

form

during my

membership

n the

Institute for Advanced

Study,

Princeton,

o which

I am

profoundly

rateful

or

the

opportunity

o

pursue

this and

other

projects.

The

principal

credit

for this

work, however,

belongs

to the late

Frances

M.

Schwartz.

She

was

present

t

the museum

whenthe hoard

was first

rought

n

for

xamination,

nd

undertook,

with

characteris-

tic enthusiasmnd care,the die comparison or hemajorportion f t

(late

Trajan

and

Commodus).

She coordinated

he

photography,

main-

tained

necessary

ecords,

nd

in

general

kept

the

project

live

untilher

final

llness. Her

death

on

July

16,

1984,

virtually

alted

work,

which

has

proceeded

n fits nd

starts ver since.

Although

not

a wordof

the

text was

written

y

her,

she

provided

the

impetus

for ts

completion

and

deserves

he ion's

share of

the

credit

or

ny

contribution

t makes

to our

understanding

f Roman

provincial

minting,

without

f

course

being

responsible

or

any

errors

r

oversights.

This is a belated

and

inadequatememorial o herdiligence, erdevotion, nd ourfriendship.

INTRODUCTION

In

May

1983 a lot of over

900 silver coins was

presented

t the

AmericanNumismatic ocietyfor xamination. It consisted,with he

exception

f

a

single

Domitianic

denarius,

f didrachms

onventionally

attributed o

Caesarea in

Cappadocia.

The relative wear

of the

coins

was

consistentwith

the residue of a

hoard

and, indeed,

t was so

de-

scribed

by

the

vendor;

he was unable or

unwilling

o

provide

reliable

information

egarding

ts

findspot

r

point

of

export.

Coins of

Caesarea as well as

reports

unsubstantiated

rom ur

point

of

view)

of a

large

hoard

had been

filtering

hrough

he trade for

ome

time. After

we saw

these

coins,

Dr.

WolframWeiser

published por-

tionof whathe calledtheCappadocian find nEpigraphicaAnatolica*

There can be

littledoubt

that the

aggre-

gation

as

that

published

Weiser and

estimated

by

him

nd as

the one

published

(1985),

reported

to have

been

foundnear

Kayseri

in 1980.

The hoard is said there to

have

amounted

o ca.

2,000

silver

oins

of

which ver 100 were

denarii;

therewere

lso two

Lycian

drachms. It

appears

that soon afterdiscov-

ery

the lot

was

broken

up

and

that the

portion

we examined was

intended o

include

only

didrachms,

ADDITIONAL NOTE 1995

Since this

manuscript

was sent to

press

therehave been two

signifi-

cant additionsto the bibliography f the periodunder discussion. In

the

first,

Kevin

Butcher takes

up

the

question

of overvaluation

of

provincial

ilver raised

by

D. R. Walker. He

employs

Walker's

own

analyses

of denarii and

Cappadocian

silver,

nd concludes that

if

the

Caesarean

drachm

s

viewed as the

equivalent

of a Rhodian drachm

(i.e.

3/4

of a

denarius),

there s

no overvaluation t all.1

The

second s

more

mportant,

nd has a

direct

earing

n

the distinc-

tion

made

here,

.

48,

between he

Roman and

local-style

ssues f

Vespa-

sian.2

Butcher,

ow n

collaboration ithM.

Ponting, nalyzes

Flavian

didrachms f Roman and provincial tyle. The authors onclude hat

while he

f the two

groups

virtually

dentical,

with

a

50:50

atio

being

he

goal,

the Roman

group

has

significant-

ly

higher

ead content.

Moreover,

the

trace

lement

rofiles

emonstrate

that the

copper

and

silverused to make

this

alloy

differ

ignificantly

between he

two

numismatically

efined

ssues

by

virtue ftheir

mpurity

levels

and the

trace element

atios re

basically

the

same

for

denarii

issued at

Rome and

Caesarean

coins of the Rome

style.

This

second

contribution s

based on

analyses

which differ

significantly

rom

Walker's which howed omewhathigher ilver on-tent for

both

Roman and

provincial

ssues)

and

which show a

signifi-

cantly

ower

standard deviation.

They suggest

that Walker's results

were

affected

the

effectiveness
