Summary The volume Strapped for Cash: Needy Soldiers, Reluctant Authorities. Studies on Military Payments in Greek and Roman Antiquity includes eight (8) studies focusing on the question of the payment of soldiers and mercenaries by the issuing authorities in Greek and Roman antiquity. The studies in the volume discuss the use of coinage in relation to the salaries of the troops, but also in relation to the daily needs of the soldiers, both in peacetime and during war operations. The scarcity of sources dealing with the payment of troops leads to interesting methodological approaches, the results of which illuminate aspects of the wider economic and military history. The volume examines the tripartite relationship of Money-Payment-Military activities, through a broad chronological and geographical spectrum covering the period from the Classical period to Roman Imperial times, starting from Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula and reaching to the East TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Authors Panagiotis P.

Summary This monograph presents the first comprehensive study of 1,759 silver and bronze coins minted by the kings of Idalion (161 coins) and Kition (1,598 coins) in Cyprus, spanning from the late 6th to the late 4th century BC. The largest corpus of these coins yet assembled - classified through a die study - is accompanied by a full metrological and typological analysis of all denominations issued under each king. A synthetic study follows, addressing weight variations, production volume, iconography, hoard evidence, overstrikes, and countermarks. The historical chapters contextualise the numismatic material in relation to ancient texts, inscriptions, and archaeological data, examining the numismatic policies of the kings from Persian to Macedonian control, culminating to the dissolution of the kingdom of Kition (and Idalion) by Ptolemy in 313/2?BC. They explore the origins of coinage, dynastic successions, key 5th-century episodes - including a first unsuccessful attack and then the conquest of Idalion by Ozibaal - the 4th-century acquisition and loss of Tamassos by Pumayyaton, and Kition's rivalry with Salamis. Six appendices enrich the study: additions to the gold coin corpus (?????????? 64), reinterpretations of debated coinages, a study of weight standards, revised dynastic chronologies, and an analysis of Phoenician coin legends by Stevens Bernardin.
