<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1854343, member: 19463"]This review, coupled with the Milne, promotes you to the position of Most Valuable Ancient Coin Talker. Thank you very much! While some will point out the title makes it obvious, Curtis only covers tetradrachms so will be useless when trying to research your drachms. Also, Curtis wrote other books/articles on Egyptian coins so a buyer must be careful not to pay book money for a copy of his lesser works. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone doubting the worth of the illustrations needs to explain to all how to tell Dikaiosyne from Homonoia from Elpis from several others who show up on the reverses. The easy answer is a photo/drawing/rubbing of each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
