A note from BCD: The first part of the auction offers quite a number of fine Greek coins, often with enviable pedigrees but it is the second half, admirably written by Cathy Lorber, that steals the show. The blend of numismatic scholarship, history and readability is indeed remarkable. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this auction catalogue was instrumental in starting the ever-increasing popularity of Seleucid coinage among both scholars and collectors during the last decades.
