ROMAN. I Medaglioni Romani by Francesco Gnecchi, complete three-volume set, published by Forni Editore, Bologna, comprising Volume I, Oro ed Argento; Volume II, Bronzo, Parte Prima, Gran Modulo; and Volume III, Bronzo, Parte Seconda, Moduli Minori; Parte Terza, Medaglioni del Senato. A substantial and highly important reference on Roman medallions, issued as a complete scholarly work with 162 plates from the original specimens, and long regarded as one of the classic foundational studies for the series. Complete sets are always desirable in the numismatic library, particularly when all three volumes are present together in matching cloth, as here. Cloth bindings with light general wear and handling, a few small marks from use, sound and presentable, internally clean, fresh, and well kept, overall VG to better for many years of use. 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. (3 volumes)
