Hi Everybody, I am looking to start collecting the ancient coinage of Albania and was wondering if anyone knew the name of a publication that exists regarding these coins. Past territories that existed in what is now known as Albania include include Dyrrachium/Epidamnus, and appolonia (illyria). I have attached a map of the names of all the territories if it helps. The green highlited part to the right of Italy is more or less Albania today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ma...d_environs.png I am more or less looking for the name of a book that includes both prices and historical descriptions of these coins. Thank you
Funny you mention that.... My membership just expired yesterday. I had purchased a two year account but I'm doubtful of becoming a member again. I never really benefited from the membership so its not something I'm looking to renew; although perhaps it was my fault from not utilizing the library they have.
Theres some listed in Seaby's "Greek Coins and Their Values" but not much info. You may find some of what you're looking for on wildwinds http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/i.html Not sure if this is one, but it came up on a couple searchs "Die antiken Münzen von Epirus" (The ancient coins of Epirus) Author: Peter Robert Franke Publisher: Wiesbaden, 1961
The book doesnt really include what I am looking for as Epirus doesnt include what is now my country but the website is extremely helpful. Thank you very much for the link.
