Numismatic corpora of Archaic and Classical issues of the kingdoms of Cyprus

In the framework of the funded project SilCoinCy – Kyprios Character (EXCELLENCE II 2014–2015 – SilCoinCy MIS 3731), a database was created—continuously enriched—which currently includes more than 11,000 gold, silver, and bronze Cypriot coins from the Archaic, Classical, and early Hellenistic periods, from museums, private collections, and auctions. The publication of these coins by kingdom in complete corpora, using the method of die identification, has been underway since 2022 (with the publication of the coins of the kings of Marion and Amathous in IG XV 2,1). Part of this research is the catalogue of 1,759 coins issued by the kings of Idalion and Kition (MELETEMATA 89), while forthcoming volumes will include the coins of the kings of Lapethos and Salamis, among others.
