MONOGRAPHS. Lanckoroński, Maria and Leo. Mythen und Münzen. Griechisches Geld im Zeichen griechischen Glaubens. Munich 1958. 8vo (15x21cm), gray linen with gilt letters, illustrated dust jacket chipped and shelf worn; 175 pages including 67 plates. Interior Very Good. CS 3477
A note from BCD: The Greeks were very close to nature and this reflects on their coins. Also, religion was an important part of everyday life in a sense that we would be hard pressed to understand. All this shows on their coins with which they were also in constant touch. The authors of this classic book skillfully blend myth with history and build their stories around these superb images belonging to coins provided not only by museums but also by private collectors.
Estimation: € 15
