<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 4336923, member: 57495"]This is a coin reference book rather than a history book, but I like the entire HGC series and highly recommend it. The coverage of cities is comprehensive and the catalogue of coin types as good as can be expected of a work intended to be a general rather than specialist reference. For each city, you get a concise section on its history and another on its coinage. A sample below on Brundisium:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1099381[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The history and coinage sections are followed by a catalog of coin types. Major cities get more pages dedicated to them. For example, there are over 5 pages discussing the history and coins of Tarentum, and a further 30 pages cataloging its coin types. The volume on Italy and Magna Graecia covers over 110 cities. Great value for $65 IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
