In the typographical resources of the first edition of Marcin Bielski's (1495-1575) Kronika wszystkiego swiata ('Chronicle of the whole world'), which appeared in 1551 in Krakow in the printing house of Helena Unglerowa, we find rulers' images in woodcuts in the all'antica style. This group is dominated by the profiled representations extracted - in the spirit of the Italian Renaissance woodcut - from a black background and incorporated into medallions surrounded by decorative wreaths. The placing in Bielski's 'Chronicle' of images of rulers, related to Roman monetary prototypes, made on the basis of Strasbourg woodcuts from the Craton Mylius publishing house, may be regarded as one of the first accurate uses of the ancient style for the portraits of Roman emperors in the history of the fine arts in Poland. The medium through which ideas inspired by the ancient portraits of the emperors came to Bielski's work, is De Caesaribus atque Imperatoribus Romanis opus insigne published by Johannes Cuspinianus in 1540 in Strasbourg by the publishing house of Craton Mylius. The graphic content of De Caesaribus, enriched by several new images, was taken from the Chronicum abbatis Urspergensis by Konrad of Lichtenau, published in the same publishing house three years earlier. The iconographic elements of this edition were indirectly derived from the Illustrium imagines by Andrea Fulvio, published in 1517 in Rome. This work contained images in medallions from which the printer Wolfgang Köpfel in Strasbourg later drew heavily, using the arrangement and workmanship of images of the Roman emperors and their family members. Subsequent illustrated editions of the emperors' biographies by Johannes Huttich (1525-1534). gained an enormous popularity. In Krakow's intellectual environment not only was the chronicle of Konrad of Lichtenau, published by Mylius, known, but also graphic patterns popularised by Fulvia and Huttich, a perfect example of which is the frieze with busts of Roman emperors, empresses and princesses in medallions, which decorates the galleries of the castle on Wawel and which bestow the decorations with a specific ideological meaning. Antique coins, imported from Italy, had the same effect, as did those that in ancient times were in abundance at Barbaricum sites, including the Polish lands, and were discovered for example in Galicia, but especially in the vicinity of Krakow, creating a part of various private collections. One can assume that placing a recognized monetary iconography of antiquity in Bielski's work would have generated great interest in Krakow.

This paper attempts to apply to the field of early Arab-Muslim numismatics chosen elements of a sceptical approach concerning the genesis of Islam developed recently in the field of Islamic studies. First, the theory itself is being presented in a general sense (giving its proper place within the field of Islamic studies). Then, its theses are contrasted with the commonly accepted scholarly views on Muslim numismatics of the 7th  8th centuries CE. A special attention is paid to the issue of intertwining of Christian and Muslim symbols on coins of the early Arab-Muslim Empire.

The paper explores the subject of poems found on silver and copper coins of the Safavid dynasty (the 16th to 18th century). It contains translation of some of these poems and their analysis. The comparison of distichs from the coins struck by different shahs reveals how they tried to give legitimacy to their reign. These efforts are especially evident in the coinage of later monarchs and pretenders to the throne of Iran. The panegyric and religious character of the poems (most of which are distichs, i.e. mofrads in Persian terminology) is put into their historical context. It also points to the most common notions found in the poems, namely: the shah as a slave or dog of the imam Ali, the comparison of gold and silver coins to the Sun and the Moon respectively. The practice of putting a poem in Persian on a coin originated in India in the middle of the 15th century and after its adoption in Iran during the reign of the Safavids it became common in the eastern part of the Islamic world (in Iran, India and Afghanistan).

The article analyses various categories of sources showing the presence of Greeks in inner Thrace since the 7th century B.C.: imported Greek pottery and its impact on local wares, metal vessels and other toreutic works, bronze objects artistic and functional, architecture, inscriptions and graffiti, coins and other phenomena. The evidence shows that in Late Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods many Greeks were in inner Thrace as traders, artists and artisans and in other expertises on the courts of Thracian rulers and also in the autonomous emporia like Pistiros.

The Roman auxiliary fortress of Ala Nova on the Danube is situated at the Eastern border of the territory of Vindobona. It was build under the Severans as a seat of a cohors equitata. Regular Roman coin circulation started according to the foundation date not before AD 210. The circulation pattern during the Severan period is very similar to those of the legionary camps of Vindobona and Carnuntum, where the coin finds slightly increase under Septimius Severus. After 231 there is a decrease in the coin curve that turns out to be a pattern reaching from the Germanic border and the municipia of Iuvavum and Lauriacum until the Norican and Pannonian ripa coincident to the Germanic migration movement. The following period is characterised by a significantly low amount of coin finds in Ala Nova, which is completely different to Carnuntum and Vindobona. In this respect a coin hoard closing AD 278 may indicate temporary instability on site. However, there is a strongly increasing number of coin finds in the military camps of Vindobona and Carnuntum during this period, which can be explained by changing settlement structure. The canabae legionis of different places in this region such as Vindobona, Carnuntum or Lauriacum were abandonned and people more and more settled within the walls of the legionary camps. During the tetrarchic and constantinian period only few coins were found in Ala Nova, which probably witnesses a drop in population or a reduction of troops. There is also a decreasing amount of coin finds in Vindobona and Carnuntum at the same time. The last period of Ala Nova shows a similar rise in the coin curve as in Vindobona and Carnuntum, which indicates a regular Roman coin circulation until at least the first half of the 5th century.
