Lot # 13911 - GREEK. Greek, Semitic, Asiatic Coins and How to Read Them. Richard J. Plant. Amherst, New York, Scorpion Publishers, 1979, first edition. Hardback, 257 pages. A very practical handbook for reading coin legends, dates, mints, and titles across a wide range of scripts, set out as a working guide rather than a regional catalogue.

A beautifully researched and highly readable study that links the legendary wealth of Lydia to the real industrial and scientific story behind it, drawing on the Harvard Cornell Sardis Expedition?s discovery of a sixth-century B.C. gold refinery where alluvial gold from the Pactolus River was processed to produce refined gold and silver.
