A new catalogue for Flavian collectors - Florence Cabinet
« on: June 05, 2020, 08:41:39 am »
Hello everyone.

The catalogue of the coin cabinet of the Archaeological Museum of Florence is currently being published.

The most recent are the two volumes covering the coinage of the Flavii: IV.1 - Vespasian (together with Galba, Otho and Vitellius) and IV.2 Titus and Domitian.

These are the main features:

- The coins are sorted by denomination and then by reverse type.

 - The text is only in Italian.

- All the coins are photographed in color, with many enlargements.

- For each coin is indicated, if available, the catalogue number of Cohen and R.I.C. (unfortunately it refers to the old edition).

I received my copies only today, but I have already noticed the presence of many unpublished coins.

The volumes should also be available for foreign buyers directly from the publisher (edizionidandrea) .

I attach the covers and sample plates.

Thanks Alberto, this will go on my wish list.

I wonder why they used the old RIC.  The new edition has been out for a very long time.

I agree, the use of the old RIC has disappointed me too...
