Descrizione

Three Achaemenid and one native egyptian kings are dated to the second persian domination, so are two persian satraps. 90 coins carry inscriptions with the names of the satraps or of Artaxerxes III. There are imitations of Athenian tetradrachms, drachms and fractional coinage. the coins of Artaxerxes III are inscribed in Demotic scripture, those of satraps in Aramaic. the catalogue at the end of this paper shows examples both of continuity and change within the egyptian coinage of Artaxerxes III and his satraps.
