A note from BCD: When this writer was a "newbie" a "Rhousopoulos" was next to his bed. Reading a lot description or two and looking at a couple of photos just before going to sleep was a guarantee of sweet dreams. Grierson calls it in his bibliography "One of the greatest collections of Greek coins" and one can immediately see the difference between it and a collection hastily amassed in a few years with the help of unlimited funds.
