Presents the first part of the Numismatic Collection of the Welfare Foundation for Social and Cultural Affairs (KIKPE), Athens. The collection is currently on loan to the Benaki Museum. A principal feature of this collection is the almost exclusive presence of bronze/copper coins, partly in an attempt to promote the role and the importance of bronze coinage as a medium facilitating everyday dealings. The 1,233 ancient hellenic and hellenized coins published here represent a geographical area extending from Hispania to Bactria and India, and from the Taurike Chersonesus to Mauritania. The terminus ante quem for the volume is the years 27-25 B.C.
