<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 7655135, member: 90666&quot;]Echkels literature survey is excellent</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me rephrase. Pellerin covers only Greek and is profusely illustrated. So to my is a highly attractive book for those interested in Greek coins. Echkel adds very little on Roman Republican coins that&#039;s not available in many prior works, and those prior works such as Havercamp Thesaurus Morellianus,, and Ursini, are profusely illustrated. Much of Echkels contribution on literature is covered very well by Babelon in the Traite. Much of Echkels views where they differ from priors are summarised in Admiral Smyth. Echkel preceded the great work of Borghesi who with Cavedoni, much referred by Mommsen, provides the next great leap forward. </p><p><br /></p><p>So for all these multitude of reasons, for me Echkel doesnt really adds anything I can&#039;t either get in earlier books or in later books in modern languages that reflect later developments. And, almost no pictures too. Pellerin is profusely illustrated with Greek coins one can study from style and strike, and the various Republican books are all well illustrated including fully illustrated early books on aes grave. The pictures matter a lot to me. So in all these context, given my library, echkel is one of my least valuable books[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
