[Naples Congress] La Monetazione Arcaica di Himera Fino al 472 A.C. Atti del II Convegno del Centro Internazionale di Studi Numismatici, Napoli 15-19 Aprile 1969. Annali, Suppl. to Vol. 16-17, Rome 1971. 8vo, tan card covers with black letters, as issued; 125 pages, 19 plates. Slight fading to cover, signature ‘C.M. Kraay’ inside. Very Good.


CS 2227, Daehn 3019.

A note from BCD: This is a commendable attempt to fully record the talks and events that took place during a 1969 convention dealing exclusively with the archaic coins of Himera. The mere fact that scholars like Boehringer, Kraay, Jenkins, Naster and Sutherland took part, not to mention the highly respected Italian contingent, augurs well for this book. However, to be fully appreciated and put to the best possible use, it should be read by someone not just fluent in Italian but also interested in the archaic coinage of Himera. If this book can show the reader how the great minds of these days functioned, it will have accomplished no mean task.
