The Ashmolean's collection of Aksumite coins is one of the best of its kind worldwide. Catalogued and presented by the two most important living experts of this coinage, the essays by Hahn and West respectively will deal with the formation of the collection and the figure of Bent Juel-Jensen, a very significant Oxford collector (as well as medical doctor, academic, and traveller). The essays and the publication of the collection in its entirety will make a fundamental contribution to this area of research and be an indispensible acquisition for many institutions and individuals.

"Focuses on the Aksumite state of the first millennium AD in northern Ethiopia and southern Eritrea, its development, florescence and eventual transformation into the so-called medieval civilisation of Christian Ethiopia. This book seeks to apply a common methodology, utilising archaeology, art-history, written documents and oral tradition from a wide variety of sources; the result is a far greater emphasis on continuity than previous studies have revealed. It is thus a major re-interpretation of a key development in Ethiopia's past, while raising and discussing methodological issues of the relationship between archaeology and other historical disciplines; these issues, which have theoretical significance extending far beyond Ethiopia, are discussed in full. The last millennium BC is seen as a time when northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea were inhabited by farming peoples whose ancestry may be traced far back into the local 'Late Stone Age'. Colonisation from southern Arabia, to which defining importance has been attached by earlier researchers, is now seen to have been brief in duration and small in scale, its effects largely restricted to ľite sections of the community. Re-consideration of inscriptions shows the need to abandon the established belief in a single 'Pre-Aksumite' state. New evidence for the rise of Aksum during the last centuries BC is critically evaluated. Finally, new chronological precision is provided for the decline of Aksum and the transfer of centralised political authority to more southerly regions. A new study of the ancient churches - both built and rock-hewn - which survive from this poorly-understood period emphasises once again a strong degree of continuity across periods that were previously regarded as distinct."--Publisher's website.

During the first seven centuries AD there arose at Aksum in the highlands of northern Ethiopia, a unique African culture which has been described as the last of the great civilizations of antiquity to be revealed to modern knowledge. Although its monuments have long been known, their full significance has only recently been recognized. Ancient Aksum maintained a wide-ranging international trade and produced unparalleled coinage in gold, silver and copper. Its kings adopted Christianity in the 4th century AD and the Christian civilization of the Ethiopian highlands traces its origins to Aksumite roots. This text, based on the author's field research, presents an illustrated account of Aksumite civilization of the Ethiopian highlands, tracing its origins to Aksumite roots.

Mare Erythraeum is an occasional series, dealing with the ethnography and archaeology of the lands bordering the Red Sea and their links with the Indian ocean. This is the sixth volume in this series. The coinage of the South Arabian Peninsula has not been studied in detail since 1922, when G. F. Hill published his catalogue of the British Museum collection. This work is the sixth in this series, and follows on from previous editions which examined coinage from Aksum. South Arabia is an area of study which is of great interest in terms of the historical and cultural significance of the region. The coinage of the Yemen from Pre-Islamic times is an important factor contributing towards the study of the iconography and symbolism of the people of this period, and displays important elements of the continuity and disturbances in the Yemen at this time. Munro-Hay links this information to known historical and archaeological developments in the Yemen in terms of religious, political and cultural factors. Munro-Hay,carried out extensive work cataloguing a large number of coins from the site of Shabwa in Hadhramawt, as well as a preliminary survey of coins from Hajar Am-Dhaybiyya. This information, along with the collection of the National Museum at Aden and other various collections, revealed several new types of coin, and form the main body of work for this book. The coinage studied shows itself to be richer than previously thought, and although these new types of coin greatly improve our understanding of the coinage of Southern Arabia, this is still an area where new finds are constantly being made, such as coins of the royal series or from the copper or bronze 'bucranium' series. Because ofthis the numbering system used by Munro-Hay in this study takes into account the expectation of future finds, thereby making this a flexible catalogue of study even if circumstances in this field change radically.
