Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 12:08 pm Over the years, we have had multiple threads with Kidarite coins presented, a few of which are linked below: http://goccf.com/t/266688 http://goccf.com/t/303351 http://goccf.com/t/313177 http://goccf.com/t/246211 http://goccf.com/t/160272 http://goccf.com/t/297926 For those wishing to learn more about the Kidarites and their coinage, I recommend "The Kidarites, the Numismatic Evidence". It was written by Joe Cribb of the British Museum and an accomplished author of multiple numismatic articles and a catalog of Kushan, Kushano-Sassanian, and Kidarite coins. I downloaded my copy off of https://www.academia.edu, but I'm not 100% sure about how others might obtain a copy--perhaps start with a interwebs search. I found the description of how early numismatists pieced together evidence of this empire fascinating.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 4:42 pm Thanks for the info Dave. The link you provided doesn't work however. Academia is a memberships site also at $8.95 a month which is cheap if you download a lot of books. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 5:02 pm Ok yes sorry for not being able to provide this information for free. I guess under $10 a month to be able to read these sorts of things is a pretty good deal.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 6:55 pm Academia.edu has a free tier which does everything most would want, including downloads. The difference with the premium tier is mostly a better search capability. Edited by Kushanshah 01/13/2019 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 9:13 pm Dave it's and excellent deal if you download a lot of books. Here is a link to where I was able to find a free copy along with several other papers by Joe. https://britishmuseum.academia.edu/JoeCribb Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 10:38 pm @echizento That's the same site Spence mentioned to begin with. There is no fee unless you want premium features. Edited by Kushanshah 01/13/2019 10:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 02:43 am KS, I'm not a premium member but was able to download it. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 03:36 am Premium membership is not required to download at academia.edu. The free membership will work just fine (but they'll do their darndest to upsell). Just wanted to make that clear so as not to scare folks away from an important resource.
