Complete Set of Rosenberger on City Coins

Rosenberger, M. CITY-COINS OF PALESTINE. THE ROSENBERGER ISRAEL COLLECTION. VOL. I: CONTAINING AELIA KAPITOLINA, AKKO, ANTHEDON, ANTIPATRIS & ASCALON. [with] VOL. II: CAESAREA, DIOSPOLIS, DORA, ELEUTHEROPOLIS, GABA, GAZA & JOPPA. [with] VOL. III: HIPPOS-SUSSITA, NEAPOLIS, NICOPOLIS, NYSA-SCYTOPOLIS, CAESAREA-PANIAS, PELUSIUM, RAPHIA, SEBASTE, SEPPHORIS-DIOCAESAREA, TIBERIAS. Jerusalem, 1972, 1975 and 1977. Three volumes, complete. 4to, original matching blue leatherette, gilt [second volume is recased with a cloth spine]. (4), 68 + (5), 79 + (7), 86 leaves, printed on rectos only; illustrated throughout. Bindings worn, as always; very good. A complete set of Rosenberger’s important and very scarce catalogues for the local issues of Palestine (a subsequent volume on the coins of eastern Palestine is not included). Clain-Stefanelli 2973. Kroh 60 (four stars): “the most inclusive reference for the city coinage of Palestine, with every coin illustrated either with photos or drawings next to the text. ... Although quite crudely made, they are invaluable for attributing these very elusive and usually poorly preserved coins.”
