Like most Roman Provincial or Greek Imperial coin collectors, I have been attracted to many of the diverse and appealing mythological coin types that exist in the series.

This is an equally excellent conditioned copy of yet another Rare book by Jordanka Jurukova:

Jurukova, Jordanka. Die Münzprägung von Bizye. (Berlin, 1981).

Long since out-of-print and generally unavailable. Just as with the Deultum text, collectors are lucky to see one auctioned off, let along own the original. It is THE definitive work on this interesting Greek Imperial or Roman Provincial mint (Bizye).

PRICE: $99.99

Schultz, S. Die Münzprägung von Magnesia am Mäander in der römischen Kaiserzeit. Hildesheim 1975. 136 S., 1 Falttafel, 37 Tafeln.

This is a VERY RARE book detailing the Greek Imperial and Roman Provincial coins from Magnesia, an ancient city positioned along the Maander River. The book went out-of-print soon after it was published and became an instant classic among Roman Provincial collectors. It is extremely hard to find and rare offered in auctions. You could go a decade before finding another copy for sale.

Many great coins imaged on multiple plates from this rare coin mint series!

PRICE: $79.99

Royal Numismatic Society's publication of David MacDonald's seminal work on the coinage of Aphrodisias. Great ancient city mint with a storied history. Rare Greek Imperial or Roman Provincial coin series with great appeal to all ancient coin collectors. A MUST HAVE for Provincial collectors or those interested in mints from Asia Minor.

Usually very hard to find, even rarer is the BAR supplement to MacDonald's Aphrodisias series included in this lot. These are the definitive works on these coins. Filled with interesting plates, imaging some of the rarest coins in the Provincial category.
