<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 8331763, member: 99554&quot;]This new volume of more than 400 pages, the first devoted to the Constantinople mint, enriches a collection devoted to Byzantine coins which already includes seven published volumes, three for Italy and Sicily, three for the Eastern mints and one for the workshops of Africa and Spain. The book is bilingual in English and Italian, richly illustrated and each time accompanied by a booklet with prices in euros. This volume is reserved solely for the coinage of the Constantinople mint for the period between Anastasius (491-518) and Phocas (602-610) for this first part.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1476881[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The catalog of Constantinople begins on page 84 with for each reign the introductions in English then in Italian, followed by the catalog, starting with the gold coins, then the silver coins and finally the bronze coinage. All the varieties are illustrated as well as the officinaes. For each type, descriptions of the obverse and reverse are provided with full with legends, followed by weight, diameter, an index of rarity, supplemented by all the bibliographical references, based mainly on English works ( DOC, MIBE or Sear) and Austrian (MIB) sometimes supplemented by unique references such as the catalog of the Cabinet of Medals of the BnF. For a price of 70€, a nice addition for the library of Byzantine coins’ lovers ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
