Seeking old German language reference on Sicilian coinage
« on: May 11, 2021, 03:52:03 pm »
Author:  Adolfo Holm

Title: Geschichte des sizilischen Muenzwesens

(History of Sicilian Coinage)

Published in 1898

Seems to be the third book in a set of three on the larger topic of ancient Sicily:

Geschichte Siciliens im Altertum

(History of Sicily in Antiquity)

There's a reference to that first title in B. V. Head Historia Numorum 1911 edition.

Thought it might be a book that's been scanned and available online by now but it doesn't show up as such.

Thank you,

PtolemAE

Thank you. Precisely the correct book and the reference just where Head noted it. Some of the early numismatics books like this remain relevant. And great to be able to read original sources that I'd never find in printed form.

Meanwhile I've seen that the plates on archive.org are quite bad, here on hathitrust are better ones:
