Among the many great leaders who fill the stage during the first years of the Hellenistic Age none stands out more prominently than Demetrius, best known under the popular nickname of Poliorcetes—the Besieger. His is by far the most striking figure of them all and second only to the great Alexander in absorbing human interest. To the numismatist the necessarily varied coinages of Demetrius the Besieger present many points of absorbing interest. This book presents the coins struck by Demetrius in various mints of mainland Greece, Cyprus, and Asia Minor.
