  I received news earlier this week that Tom Mallon-McCorgray passed away on 9 January. I did not know him personally, but his research on ancient and medieval Asian numismatics was highly influential on my studies. He authored a website that contained invaluable information on some of the fantastic coins from Central Asia, especially those of the various Hephthalite tribes, the coins of Sogdiana and Bactria, and a superb collection of Sassanian coins (his sections on reading Sassanian coins is especially helpful). His site certainly fostered a keen interest in these lesser known but no less important areas of numismatics, for which I am most grateful.

  Thanks. Perhaps other readers are familiar with his work as well. Let's hope his web site is looked after and lives on in some form. -Editor
