<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silphium Addict, post: 8194162, member: 116882&quot;][USER=104676]@Hamilcar Barca[/USER] I see Viola&#039;s <i>Corpus Nummorum Punicorum </i>2010 is currently out of stock and can&#039;t find any for sale at this time. I usually just keep searching by the name about monthly until I see one available and check the numismatic literature auctions until I find something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also collect Punic coins and have found CNP to be extremely useful. It is 960 pages and fairly complete with 951 entries. Very nice to be in English in addition to Italian. The catalog is arranged by iconography, then by metal and size. It can be a little confusing at first but gets easier with use. The iconographic key has 290 images with the first being a horse in various positions. Each catalogue entry has a line drawing, description, metal, size, weight, mint, varieties and most importantly a list of reference citations and sales for the type keyed to two appendices.&nbsp; There are 24 plates with images of some of the coins of varying quality but the coin can be identified. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are images of a page and plate at &quot;Corpus Nummorum Punicorum&quot; on Facebook. Paolo Visona wrote an excellent review: Numismatic Chronicle Vol. 172 (2012), pp. 365-366. (Available at JSTOR)</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you are able to find a copy soon. I don&#039;t know if a second edition is being prepared, but it might be worth checking with the publisher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
