MONOGRAPHS. Penna, Vassiliki. Chalkous, for Everyday Dealings. The Unknown World of Bronze Coinage. Exhibition catalogue of the collection of K.I.K.P.E. coins, Benaki Museum, 1 March-30 April 2006, Athens, Greece. 8vo (24.5x22cm), 274 pages, colour photos of coins throughout. Hardbound, illustrated covers. As New.
A note from BCD: The accent of this lavishly presented exhibition catalogue is on the autonomous bronze coinages of the Greek cities. Coins that are not easily found elsewhere are photographed in colour, correctly described and referenced but without their commercial pedigrees. There are useful sections on the Byzantine bronze issues.
