Langlois,
Victor Numismatique de
Nomes d'Égypte sous l'administration romaine.
Paris 1852
A very
rare book to locate. A
catalog of
Nome coins, compiled from the
collections of the times. Perhaps important for collectors of the
Nome coinage, but of limited use today. The 4 plates of line drawings are reprinted in
Emmett.

*** Print to order book available for about $16- slightly
reduced in size from original. There is some images/letters that bled through from the previous/next page. Years ago, I originally photocopied the actual University of Toronto book which is the source of the print to order book.***

Rostovtsew, Michel and
Prou,
Maurice Catalogue des Plombs de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Age et du Temps modernes conservés au Département
des Médailles de la Bibliothèque Nationale.
Paris 1900.
Only about 100 to 200 Alexandrian lead tokens are described, making it hardly worth purchasing for that series alone. It covers a wide range of lead coin issues from Greek, Roman and
Byzantine issues. If you collect lead issues in general, then this is an important reference. As with all lead issues, the exact coin
types are often difficult to determine, due to their
poor condition.

von Sallet, Alfred "Alexandrinische Kaisermünzen
des Kgl. Münzcabinets in
Berlin." Festschrift
Berlin. pp. 127-130.
A very small article illustrating a number of extremely
rare Alexandrian coins in
Berlin. Extremely difficult to locate. I rely on a photocopy from a microfilm. One of the very few sources for coins in
Berlin. It has a couple
Geta issues, (I believe), with the emperor on horseback. It's been a while since I looked at the article.

Wallace, Sherman LeRoy Taxation in Egypt From
Augustus to
Diocletian.
New York 1969 (Reprint of 1938 edition).
An early
work on the complicated issues relating to taxes in Egypt. Some of the information is dated, but it must be a starting point for taxation. Some taxes were collected in
money, but the vast majority were collected in kind.
53. Mathiesen, H. E.
Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum. Århus University,
Denmark. Munskgaard - Copenhagen, 1986.
An expensive
catalog to purchase with very few Alexandrian coins. There is a reason it is buried deep in my book chest as it is of little importance. Save your
money.

American Numismatic Society.
This is not a book, but it is a database of coins in the
ANS collection. A database
search is located online, with a few coins pictured. If you want any of the images, then you will have to purchase them, even the ones pictured-- a shame. The Alexandrian
collection is over 10,000 coins. A huge important
collection was purchased in 1944, and later in 1973. It's as important as the Ashmolean
collection. The database does have errors. You have to watch the bronze
denominations in general.
55. Royal
Ontario Museum (Toronto, Ontario,
Canada).
Like the
ANS collection it is also unpublished, but there is a database (not online) in which all the coins are catalogued and attributed to
Milne. The
collection contains the largest Alexandrian
collection, but as the
coin hoards were previously picked over by
Dattari and
Milne, it has only a few unpublished coins. A list of the unlisted (in
Milne) coins can be obtained from ROM. It
still is useful for research, however. I visited the museum a few times, but never thought to see the coin
collection.
