古希腊币是世界钱币宝库中最为辉煌灿烂的一章。这里所说的“古希腊”系指古希腊和希腊化世界。即除了希腊本土外,还包括:古希腊人在地中海周边(如西班牙、西西里岛、意大利南部、北非)、小亚细亚和黑海沿岸所建立的殖民城邦。也包括亚历山大大帝去世后所建立的三个希腊化王朝(塞琉古、托勒密、马其顿)和由塞琉古分裂出来的巴克特里亚王朝(大夏)。它们的钱币形制沿习希腊本土,充分反映了古希腊历史和文化。就时间跨度而言,约为公元前7世纪(出现吕底亚琥珀金币)到公元前1世纪(罗马帝国兴起)。
Ancient Greek currency is the world’s treasure trove of the most brilliant chapter. As used herein, “ancient Greece” refers to the ancient Greek and Hellenistic world. That is to say, in addition to the Greek mainland, it also includes the colonial city states established by ancient Greeks around the Mediterranean Sea (such as Spain, Sicily, southern Italy, North Africa), Asia Minor and the Black Sea coast. But also the three Hellenistic dynasties (Seleucus, Ptolemy, Macedonia) established after the death of Alexander the Great and the Bactrian Dynasty (Great Summer) separated by Seleucus. Their coin shape along the Greek mainland, fully reflects the ancient Greek history and culture. In terms of time span, it is about the 7th century BC (Lydia Amber gold coins appear) to the first century BC (the rise of the Roman Empire).
