Notes
A historical and numismatic study of Abruzzo and Molise from the pre-Roman era to the 18th century. This volume analyzes the coinage of these two regions from ancient times through to the modern era, including a large number of previously unpublished and still little-known pieces. Notable examples include: for L’Aquila, the denaro of Alfonso featuring the Camponeschi family coat of arms, the cavallo of Ferdinand II, and the follaro of Ragusa countermarked with a small eagle; for Atri, the denaro of Giosia Acquaviva; for Chieti, the denaro of Ferdinand I; and for Sulmona, the denaro of Charles III, among others.

An appendix includes a price guide—with rarity grades and market valuations—intended to assist not only experienced collectors but also dealers less familiar with this coinage, as well as beginners who are just entering the world of regional numismatics and want to make informed purchases.

The text covers the following locations: Pre-Roman and Roman periods – Hatria, Carsoli, Vestini, Alba Fucens, Frentani, Isernia, Marrucini, and the Social Wars. Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern periods – Alvito, Amatrice, L’Aquila, Atri, Campobasso, Chieti, Cittaducale, Guardiagrele, Lanciano, Limosano, Luco dei Marsi, Manoppello, Ortona, San Severo, Sora, Sulmona, Tagliacozzo, Teramo, Tocco da Casauria, and Vasto.

An essential work for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval and Renaissance numismatics.
