Environment and human habitation have become principal topics of research with the growing interest in the Black Sea region in antiquity. This book highlights their interaction around all the coasts of the region, from different perspectives and disciplines. Here, archaeological excavation and survey combine with studies of classical texts, cults, medicine, and more, to explore ancient experiences of the region. Accordingly, the region is examined from external viewpoints, centred in the Mediterranean (Herodotus, the Hippocratics, ancient geographers, and poets), and through local lenses, particularly supplied by archaeology. While familiar disconnects emerge, there is also a striking coherence in the results of these different pathways into the study of local environments, which embrace not only Graeco-Roman settlement, but also a broader range of agricultural and pastoralist activities across a huge landscape which stretches as far afield as ancient Hungary. Throughout, there are methodological implications for research elsewhere in the ancient world. This book shows people in landscapes across a huge expanse, in local reality and in external conceptions, complete with their own agency, ideas, and lifestyles.

Die griechische und die römische Provinzialprägung von Thrakien und Moesien ist entscheidend für das Verständnis der antiken Wirtschaft sowohl der Schwarzmeerregion als auch eines großen Teils der Ägäis. Dieses Buch vereint über 1.500 Münzen aus bekannten türkischen Museen von Ankara, Edirne, Kırklareli, Tekirdağ und Troja (Çanakkale) sowie ausgewählten Privatsammlungen und stellt damit eine wichtige Sammlung von Quellenmaterial für die Münzgeschichte dieser beiden Gebiete vom 6. Jahrhundert vor bis zum 3. Jahrhundert nach Christus dar. Alle Münzen sind fotografisch abgebildet und mit ihren Kerndaten erfasst. Über die Angabe einer Typennummer des Corpus Nummorum-Webportals kann auch eine englische Beschreibung abgefragt werden. Der Katalog enthält mehrere bislang unbekannte Typen und eine Vielzahl neuer typologischer Varianten.
