History
Historical Studies on a Number of Coins from the Sharjah Archeology Museum
by Dr. Hamad bin Sarai
Description
This book provides an analytical historical foresight for 87 coins included in the Sharjah Archeology Museum. It also discusses the symbols, writings, shapes, images, and letters engraved on such coins. These coins were classified according to the material of their manufacture and mint, which were: Roman coins, Southern Arabian coins, Kingdom of Maysan coins, Parthian and Persian coins, Nabataean coins, local Arab coins, as well as Eastern Arabian coins minted between third century BC and the second century AD. This constitutes a prominent evidence on the civil status that the region possessed in that era. At the same time, it serves an evidence on the existence of more than one administrative system in the Southeast Arabia, as the region had a similar cultural setting. Further, it is an evidence on trade exchange and economic communication between the region and the other regions.
