Greek Imperial Countermarks. Movement by sea: the evidence of countermarks 4. Standards of bronze coinages derived from countermarks 51 52 74 5. I am also grateful for casts from a number of other collections, public or private.
I am grateful to the fellows, curators, and staff of all these institutions for providing a congenial and stimulating environment in which to work. The doctoral thesis, on which this book is based, benefited greatly from supervision by Colin Kraay and, after Colin's untimely death, by Alan Bowman. Barbara Levick and Harold B. Mattingly, who examined the thesis, provided many detailed and useful comments. I have drawn freely on the expertise of Martin Price on Hellenistic countermarks, of Cathy King and David Walker on the Roman coinage, of Andrew Burnett on the early provincial coinage, of Michel Amandry on the coins of Corinth, and of Sebastian Brock on the semitic inscriptions.
Michael Metcalf has given generously of his time and practical experience in the difficulties of publication. Jeremy Hutson, Ann Johnston, and Hans-Markus von Kaenel have provided support and help beyond the calls of friendship. My greatest debt is to Helen, to whom this book is dedicated with love. The term is commonly extended to embrace the imperial bronzes struck in the east, which are included here to allow the bronze currency of the east to be considered in its entirety.
It is, however, important to distinguish the imperial coinage, which was struck by the Roman authorities, from the Greek Imperial coinage, which was not. Greek Imperial coins have long proved a valuable quarry for art and architecture, myth and religion, local and imperial history.
