Description: The Ashmolean's collection of Aksumite coins is one of the best of its kind worldwide. Catalogued and presented by the two most important living experts of this coinage, the essays by Hahn and West respectively will deal with the formation of the collection and the figure of Bent Juel-Jensen, a very significant Oxford collector (as well as medical doctor, academic, and traveller). The essays and the publication of the collection in its entirety will make a fundamental contribution to this area of research and be an indispensible acquisition for many institutions and individuals.
