GREEK. Gaulish and Early British Gold Coinage by Dr John Sills, Spink, London, 2003. A substantial and highly important reference work on Celtic gold coinage, covering the series from the arrival of the Philippus in Gaul to the opening of the Gallic Wars, with particular attention to north-eastern France and southern Britain. The volume runs to xii, 554 pages and is extensively illustrated throughout, with photographs of approximately 540 coin types and varieties, many previously unpublished, together with reconstruction drawings of more than 200 die pairs, 17 plates, 40 maps including a folding map, 123 figures and 39 tables. Sills brings together classification, die study, hoard evidence, distribution mapping and historical background into a work of real depth, including a catalogue of around 3,000 recorded examples and detailed analysis of 80 hoards. A serious and beautifully produced Spink publication, and still one of the key standard references for Gaulish and early British gold. About new.
