I have some ex-library Loeb Classics. For sale in the US only! They tell the stories than make your ancient coins interesting. They are withdrawn, long ago, from the Montana State University library. I used to work at MSU. They are all small hardcover books, 6 5/8" by 4 1/2", with the ancient text and its English translation on facing pages. The first, Pausanius, has the original Greek on one page and an English translation on the facing page. This is all five volumes. The interiors are nice. They discuss cities and what (ancient) tourists would want to see in each. Imhoof-Blumer and Gardner wrote a book "Ancient Coins Illustrating Lost Masterpieces of Ancient Art" that correlates the (mostly Roman provincial) coins with the text. Five Loeb Classic volumes: [$60 + $8 shipping.] (They cost significantly more volume by volume on Amazon). (There is nothing directly about coins in these volumes. You'd have to buy the other book for that.) The Fall of Troy, Qunitus Smynaeus. $58 on Amazon. [$35 + $4 shipping here] Xenophon. The five volumes seen here. Each more than $20 on Amazon. All five books, $55 + $8 shipping] Unmarked except for library markings and "Withdrawn" on the top. Actually, pretty good condition. Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War. All 8 volumes, two per book. [$45 + $7 shipping]. Unmarked except for library markings and "Withdrawn" on the top. Actually, pretty good condition. Frontinus on Aquaducts. (Some ancient coins show aquaducts.) Library marks. [$10 + $3 shipping] PM me if you are interested and in the US. I combine shipping. I accept PayPal and prefer Zelle (which is catching on and has no fees, unlike PayPal's 4%.) For more ancient-coin-related books, see my site: http://augustuscoins.com/numislit.html
