Ancient coin books?

[Sylvester 15]

Chris have you got any, particularly on Ancient Greek coins? You know Athenian Owls, Larissas, Alexander coins etc...

[Chris Perkins 228]

No, I haven't. But I've heard the best one is the title by my very own Reverend Author mate: 'Ancient Greek Coins and their Identification' (or a title similar to that). He wrote it in 1979 I believe, and it was published by Seaby.

Maybe one day, the 2006 Edition will be published by Rotographic!

The Empire grows strong it does.

I thought Krause had some books published on Ancients (along with all those other titles they do?)

I feel like reading up and looking into that field see if i can't spread my numismatic knowledge horizons a little further afield... the Greek coins have particularly grabbed my attention. I don't intend to collect them though (well i want an Athenian Owl) but i have no intentions (as yet) of going into a mad collecting frenzy.

There is a Whitman book: 'Handbook of Ancient Greek and Roman Coins'.

I've got it, and it's ok, but I find the language used hard to read 'easily'. I think most of the text was originally written in the 60's (although I could be wrong), and it's very very formal.

Well if you fancy disposing of it you could always pass it my way...

I'm used to reading hard reading (the North Catalogue is about as clear as mud), and for anyone that's had to study the Iliad then i think it might be a shade clearer. (Not much perhaps, but a tad!)

It was only about a tenner, and I think I got it on Amazon. I do use mine a little, mainly with Roman.

Ah i'll have a look around! I forgot about Amazon!
