The Archaic and Early Classical Greek World: Using Coins as Sources

Rutter, Keith: - Keith Rutter was Professor Emeritus of Greek History and Numismatics at the University of Edinburgh. He was a medallist of the Royal Numismatic Society and published extensively on Greek coinage and history. His books include Campanian Coinages 475-380 (1979) and Greek Coinages of Southern Italy and Sicily (1997). He was Principal Editor of the third edition of Historia Numorum Italy (2001). Between 2003 and 2008 he directed the Cyprus Numismatic Project, a web-based resource for the study of the coins of the Cypriot kingdoms. In 2012 he set up the biennial two-week course in numismatics at the British School at Athens, designed for postgraduates in Classics, History and Archaeology whose research would be enriched by a more informed and profound engagement with the evidence provided by coins.
