<p>[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 6505939, member: 82616"]I recently picked up a relatively inexpensive copy of <i>Catalogo completo della collezione Dattari Numi Augg. Alexandrini</i>, A. Savio, ed. (Trieste, 1999). I don't specialise in Alexandrian coins generally, but was wanting a copy of the catalogue to help hunt down any Flavian specimens that are plate coins. My recent Alexandrian acquisitions also fuelled my interest in obtaining a copy. Plus, I'm an attribution nerd and only cite catalogues I physically own (I <i>never</i> copy and paste attributions).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few photos to give an idea of what all the fuss is about.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260017[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260049[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1260019[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the 2007 second edition has additional plates discovered after this 1999 first edition was published, but I don't think it makes much difference in regards to the Flavian section.
