Spring 705

A note from BCD: In this substantial catalogue, the 161 coins of Tarentum obviously form the most interesting group, with about one and a half plates of photographs used to illustrate the best examples. There are nearly four more plates of Greek coins, nearly two of Roman and one plate of Byzantine. A detailed note on p. 80 after the description of lot 1547 vindicates the previously condemned unique gold coin of Euhesperides in Cyrenaica, quoting a 1962 letter from Jenkins. Apparently, Robinson had expressed the “gravest doubt” on the authenticity of this coin (see BMC Cyrenaica, Introduction p. CXCIV, note 1) but now, together with Jenkins, considered the coin genuine. The coin however, estimated at 30000 Dutch Guilders, remained unsold.
