<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7534262, member: 111037"]Wow, 2000 pages for a period of 200 years? Talk about a passionate thesis! Sounds very interesting, but I have a feeling it won't be an easy read (something to pick up with a cup of tea), probably more like studying for an exam <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . As to be expected, it is not exactly cheap either. Is it well illustrated? And, I don't mean plates, one little pet hate I have about my existing Byzantine coin books is that I dislike reading about a coin on page x and then having to look it up at page xxxx to have a closer look. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie15" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For me, the better example the better! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Provenance is a nice addition, but especially with Byzantines a nice condition is something very desirable.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think you meant this question for [USER=87200]@ancient coin hunter[/USER] <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really really love the pentanummion...

[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7534262, member: 111037"]Wow, 2000 pages for a period of 200 years? Talk about a passionate thesis! Sounds very interesting, but I have a feeling it won't be an easy read (something to pick up with a cup of tea), probably more like studying for an exam :bookworm: . As to be expected, it is not exactly cheap either. Is it well illustrated? And, I don't mean plates, one little pet hate I have about my existing Byzantine coin books is that I dislike reading about a coin on page x and then having to look it up at page xxxx to have a closer look. :arghh: For me, the better example the better! ;) Provenance is a nice addition, but especially with Byzantines a nice condition is something very desirable. I think you meant this question for [USER=87200]@ancient coin hunter[/USER] :shame: I really really love the pentanummion... The more I look at it the more I like it... But.... It is just a bit too small! I like to put my coins in quickslabs and the smallest available diameter for the foam-cuts is 14 millimetres. This is going to trigger my OCD... The only coin that I have a similar problem with is my little gorgon.[/QUOTE]
