NACHTRÄGE UND BERICHTIGUNGEN ZUR MÜNZKUNDE DER RÖMISCHEN REPUBLIK. III. BAND. Wien, 1918. The final volume, as originally published in Neue Folge, 11. Band (1918) of the Numismatische Zeitschrift [entire volume here present]. 4to, later black cloth and mottled boards, gilt. vi, 246 pages; text illustrations; 31 plates [Babelon's work comprises pages 73–180 pages and is illustrated with text illustrations and 7 fine plates of coins]. Plates with some annotations; very good or better. Bahrfeldt's revision of Babelon is one of the most important works ever published on Roman Republican coins. It was originally published in three parts over four volumes of the Numismatische Zeitschrift (1896–1897, 1900 and 1918), and was then published as stand-alone offprints in three parts. This complete set consists of the first two parts in offprint form, bound in one volume, with the third part present in the original periodical form. A landmark work, rarely offered complete (the third part was not published for nearly twenty years after the second). Clain-Stefanelli 3715*: "An essential addition to Babelon's work."
