<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 7958724, member: 44106&quot;]In case it is of interest, there will be a three-volume work on the entire coinage of Tarentum coming out soon (probably within the next year or so). I worked on translating it from the original Italian into English. It&#039;s by Alberto D&#039;Andrea, who has done a bang-up job categorizing the issues of regional Magna Grecian colonies <a href="https://en.edizionidandrea.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.edizionidandrea.com/" rel="nofollow">https://en.edizionidandrea.com/</a> . His books (in Italian) on the coinage of the Messapians (modern-day Apulia) and the coinage of Medieval Puglia are my go-to references, with numismatic details that you really can&#039;t find in any other published references. Alberto has also co-authored several books on Byzantine and medieval Italian issues as well. These references list not just the coinage chronology but also estimate the approximate rarity of each issue and have a rough pricing guide, based on historical auction estimates etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Tarentine volumes were supposed to be issued in 2020 but this deadline got pushed out because of COVID. There is a separate book just on the Tarentine diobols that will be coming out shortly (it has had its final reviews and is currently in press). </p><p><br /></p><p>I will let everyone know when these issues come out, if people are interested. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, I&#039;ve undertaken the translation to allow a wider numismatic audience to benefit from this information, and am not making a penny out of any of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
