King Croesus? Gold: Excavations at Sardis and the History of Gold Refining. Hardcover, 272 pages. A beautifully researched and highly readable study that links the legendary wealth of Lydia to the real industrial and scientific story behind it, drawing on the Harvard Cornell Sardis Expedition?s discovery of a sixth-century B.C. gold refinery where alluvial gold from the Pactolus River was processed to produce refined gold and silver. The authors present a full archaeological report of the only known ancient refinery of its kind, paired with a detailed scientific reconstruction of the refining methods undertaken with British Museum study, then broaden the discussion into an authoritative survey of early assaying and refining techniques from across the ancient world. The result is both a key reference for the origins of coinage and an unusually strong introduction to ancient metallurgy, with Sardis providing rare, concrete evidence for technologies often known only through texts.

Early Hellenistic Coinage from the Accession of Alexander to the Peace of Apamea (336-186 B.C.). Otto Morkholm (Cambridge, 1991). Hardcover with dust jacket, 273 pages with 45 black and white plates. A landmark study, and still the first full and coherent survey of early Hellenistic coinage, covering the issues of Alexander the Great, his successors, and the major cities of Greece and Asia Minor across roughly a century and a half. Combining clear scholarship with practical usefulness, it offers detailed descriptions and strong plate coverage illustrating well over 600 coins, making it an important reference for attribution as well as for the historical understanding of the period. The work is well structured, beginning with the general features of Hellenistic coinage, including metals and standards, production and use, types and inscriptions, before moving through Alexander and the Diadochi to the later balance of power down to 188 B.C., and concluding with appendices, ruler lists, chronological tables, glossary, bibliography, and an epilogue by Philip Grierson extending the narrative beyond 188. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work. |

Greek and Roman Coins from the du Chastel Collection: Coin Cabinet of the Royal Library of Belgium. (London, Spink, 1999). Quarto, xix, 162 pages with 41 plates, hardbound with dust jacket. A finely produced institutional catalogue publishing the celebrated collection formed by Count du Chastel and later acquired by the Belgian Government, comprising 821 coins, with more than 300 Greek and over 500 Roman pieces.
