Reviews

'… [a] well-written volume … This work provides scholarship with a praiseworthy example of how interdisciplinary studies that include textual and material studies, and also reaching across the divide between ancient history (classics) and ancient Near Eastern studies, opens up important data sets and conversation partners for new insight.' Peter Altmann, Review of Biblical Literature '… a dense and extremely successful study that will not only enrich research on the Iron Age Levant coast, but should also provide important impulses for our understanding of pre-modern money.' Marc Philipp Wahl, H-Soz-Kult '… a valuable contribution to the study of the development of money in the eastern Mediterranean.' Brian P. Muhs, Journal of Near Eastern Studies
