ROMAN. Alexandrian Coins. Keith Emmett (Lodi, Wisconsin, 2001). Large format, approximately 22 ? 28.5 cm, xxviii + 332 pages, with 13 plates, 3 maps, and a built in rarity guide. A major modern corpus of the Roman provincial coinage of Egypt, cataloguing more than 8,300 dated types from Augustus through Domitius Domitianus across all denominations and reverse types, and arranged in a way that makes it especially practical for attribution, particularly in view of the Alexandrian series being dated and tied to the Egyptian calendar. The introductory section clearly explains the dating system and monetary structure, while the main catalogue provides the reverse type and date framework supported by thorough indexes to legends and reverse types, a calendar concordance, strong reference cross links, and especially useful treatment of the Nome coinage and its scarcer local issues. 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.

Estimate: AUD 100
