This illustrated handbook presents a concise history of the development of the coinage of the early Arab caliphate in the seventh century. The historical introduction, which includes descriptions of all the basic types, is followed by a summary catalogue of the recently acquired collection of Arab-Byzantine coins at Dumbarton Oaks.

This is a comprehensive survey of the coinage of Syria and Palestine during the first 50 years of Islamic rule in the 7th Century CE. The book includes studies of the dies from the Baalbek mint and the unusual iconography of coins from Jerusalem and Yubna.

An old, but still a highly important reference book in Arab Byzantine and Umayyad coinage. The book is a modern reprint, and is highly sought after by collectors and dealers who so scarcely come across it, especially when looking at coin descriptions that cite this work. This reprint also includes scans of the plates (coin photos).

This is the first fully illustrated catalogue of a major collection of late Roman and early Byzantine imperial coins. It follows the general layout of the Byzantine volumes in the Dumbarton Oaks series, with a substantial introduction dealing with the history of the coinage, including iconography, mints, and monetary system. In this volume, however, all the coins are illustrated in the plates.

The Byzantine Empire lasted for almost a thousand years after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. The period covered by this catalogue is from the reign of Anastasius I (491518) until the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. When this catalogue was first published in 1974 it was hailed as containing more information in a concise form than any other single volume on the Byzantine series.
