Averaging about 1 coin photo per page with many of the provincial coins showing only the reverse. It has coverage by topic such as Chapter 5, "Aesculapius: The Family" with discussions of Apollo and several others, Chapter 7, "Medicinal Plants on Ancient Coins," Chapter 11, "The Water Supply of Ancient Rome," Chapter 12, "Various Medical Associations," which even has Trajan's column because one panel shows first aid being administered (of course, not visible on the coins).
