GREEK. Greek Coinages of Southern Italy and Sicily. N. K. Rutter (London, Spink, 1997). Octavo, 191 pages, illustrated throughout, in blue cloth with dust jacket. A thoughtful and highly useful survey of the Greek coinages of South Italy and Sicily from the later sixth century B.C. onward, using the numismatic record as a continuous guide to political and cultural development while exploring questions of identity, regional interaction, and the meaning of Greek civic coinage in a complex colonial landscape. Grounded in clear description and sound scholarship, it remains a practical and intelligent reference for interpreting types, legends, and series across this important field. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
