“ΙστορΙΙΕς του ΙΙΕ” new podcast: The coinages of ancient Cyprus

In this podcast, Evangeline Markou, Senior Researcher in the Institute of Historical Research, talks about the coinages and kings of ancient Cyprus. What kind of iconography appears on a coin and what kind of information does that provide? What is a monetary standard? When do coins appear on Cyprus? What was the strategic and economic importance of Cyprus in antiquity? Who were the inhabitants of Cyprus? What was the Cypriot syllabic script? Why did the king of Marion choose the image of the rape of Europa for his coinage?
