William E. Metcalf is Professor of Classics at Yale University and Ben Lee Damsky Curator of Coins and Medals at the University's Art Gallery.
"As Metcalf notes (xvii), it is over 100 years since the last
single volume guide to Greek coinage was produced, and there has
never been an equivalent work for Rome. This new handbook is,
therefore, long overdue and hugely welcome. All involved are to be
congratulated and, while in a project as broad as this there are
inevitably some omissions, we now have something where there was
nothing, and for that we should be very gratefulEL. It is much to
be hoped that
students of the history of all periods will find their way to this
rich new resource."
--Andrew Meadows, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"This book represents an unprecedented innovation in numismatic
literature and is becoming widely regarded as the best introduction
to classical ancient coins. It is far more than a guide written
solely for collectors. Instead, it was written to serve also as an
introduction for graduate or post-doctoral students in the ancient
cultures who seek training in classical numismatics. As a work in
the renowned Oxford Handbooks series, this volume was written
to
offer an authoritative and annotated state-of-the-art survey of
current thinking and research in the subject area. However, it is
just that focus that makes it such a valuable text for serious
collectors
of ancient coins."
-- Roger Kuntz, Rochester Numismatic Association
