Works of the Maison de l'Orient, 63; Series "Archaeological Research. The French excavations carried out at Zeugma between 1996 and 2000, under the direction of Catherine Abadie-Reynal, provided a batch of more than 850 coins in the stratigraphic levels of the ten or so excavation sites. This work offers a catalog of these coins whose chronology extends from the Hellenistic period to the Byzantine period, with a majority of currency struck under the Roman Empire, notably between the 3rd and 5th centuries. This catalog is accompanied by the chronological and stratigraphic study of these batches as well as more specific observations concerning Roman provincial coins. The parallel between numismatic data and certain ancient literary sources also allows us to propose some hypotheses concerning the presence of certain coins of distant origin as well as phases of sudden abandonment.
