Tyre in Phoenicia was one of the most prolific mints in the Hellenistic and Roman Southern Levant, particularly in the 3rd century AD.

Professor Achim Lichtenberger of the University of Münster will contextualize this development and look at the impact of local, regional, and imperial actors on the extraordinarily rich coin production of Tyre.
