A note from BCD: The Lugano series of illustrated FPL's issued by Rodolfo Ratto in the 1920's, rate amongst the rarest and most coveted series of his publications for the simple reason that very few copies were preserved by the recipients. The Greek series covered in the three 1923 issues present here deal with Epirus to the Peloponnesus. There are a total of 8 excellent autotype plates, 6 of them with ancient coins.
