A note from BCD: The publication of an exhibition of Roman coins that took place in Bologna in 1981. Fine photography and attractive coins fully described. Tipped in are the announcement and program for a convention that took place also in Bologna but 22 years later. This writer laments the obvious switch from pure numismatics to peripheral subjects, a trend dictated by political pressure against collecting ancient coins.
