Of the 1,520 coins recovered, 1,120 were catalogued and evaluated, while the remaining 400 were excluded because of their poor condition. This evaluation, however, is flawed and inadequate in terms of numismatic method. The work provides only descriptive information and statistical data on the excavation coins, presented in tables and lists, supplemented by general informa\u00adtion on the coinage of Aigai. The coins are assessed only in general terms, and their find spots and exca\u00advation contexts are not taken into account. The hoards are merely described; rather than being evaluated separately, they are incorporated into the catalogue and thus removed from their context. All of this is, in fact, consistent with the stated aim of the study, which may be summarized as \u201c<em>introducing the coins and providing statistical information about them<\/em>\u201d. A study of excavation coins, however, is expected not only to identify and describe the coins but also to evaluate them within their archaeological and historical context, and thereby to shed light on the social, cultural, and economic history of the city in which they were found. By disregarding these aspects, the work does not go beyond a mere catalogue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Aigai, Coins of Aigai, Excavation Coins, Hellenistic Coins, Roman Provincial Coins, Roman Imperial Coins, Byzantine Coins<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider_padding\"><\/div>\n<p><a name=\"refs\"><\/a><div class=\"tabs_container\"><ul class=\"tabs\"><li><a href=\"#\">References<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\">Direct Link<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\">About Author(s)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"panes\"><div class=\"pane\"><p>Baldus H.
