(1/41) > >>

Jochen:
Dear friends of Nikopolis ad Istrum!

Today I got the 1st copy of Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov, Nicopolis ad Istrum. It contains altogether 2482 types on 512 pp., all described and depicted b/w. Now it is my job to proofread it and to make needed corrections. I think it can be published in May 2017
It is the most comprehensive book about the coinage of Nikopolis ad Istrum worldwide. The book can be ordered from me by PM. It is printed on demand. The price is €120.- + shipping. Here I have the statistics oft the last 5 editions:

Some coins from Nikopolis Addenda #4 haven't found their way into the new catalog. They were too worn.

But this is not the end of the story. The chase for new types goes on! So please see this thread as supplement of Nikopolis 2017!

Thanks
Jochen
