Description and Table of Contents
Description
This second SNG volume devoted to the collection of The British Museum constitutes the full publication, for the first time, of the Museum's holdings of ancient Spanish coins. In total 1,802 coins from over 140 mints of the period before the Roman empire are published. Each coin is illustrated by black and white photographs of its obverse and reverse, while full description, technical information and available provenance are given on the facing page. With its indices of mints, legends and obverse and reverse types, as well as nine tables illustrating non-Graeco-Roman legends, the book will be an indispensable tool for the identification of the coins of ancient Spain.The volume not only fills a substantial gap in the publication of the BM collection, but is the largest publication in the English language of a collection of Spanish coins. Reflecting the current state of numismatic scholarship in the field, the volume will prove an invaluable guide for archaeologists, historians and collectors.
