The lost war ended the funding for any such
work, plus a lot of the younger generation of
German numismatic scholars were killed in the war, including, I believe, M.L.
Strack. Of course the effects were just as devastating on the European "winners",
France,
Britain, and
Italy!
The only
AMNG volume publ. after the war, III.2,
Macedonia and Paionia, 1935, by H.
Gaebler, is a sad spectacle. It has 40 plates, which however
had been printed 40 years earlier, in 1895, and whose existence was the only reason that something, anything, finally
had to be published!
This volume is a description EXCLUSIVELY of the coins illustrated in the plates, with a
fair number of interesting notes and explanations appended to the descriptions.
How inadequate this is may be judged from the fact that the plates were the WEAKEST
part of the
superb earlier
AMNG volumes. The strength of those volumes is the exhaustive, meticulous cataloguing of all specimens of the coinages in question that were found in existing
collections or
had been published in earlier works, plus the illuminating introductions to the provinces and the individual mints, all with, unfortunately, far too few illustrations.
The exhaustive
catalogue and excellent introductions, the meat of the earlier volumes, were entirely omitted from III.2 of 1935. All we get is a description of the interesting, but far too selective plates, plus comments which go some way towards replacing the missing introductions.
