Description

Cohen, H. Description générale des monnaies de la république romaine communément appelées médailles consulaires. Paris/London; M. Rollin, 1857. 4to., pp. (4), xliv, 359, (1); 75 beautifully engraved plates by Dardel. Handsomely bound in quarter tan calf and marbled boards, raised bands with a black morocco label to the spine, lettered and ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers. The binding a little rubbed, with foxing throughout the text, still a fine copy of this classic work, seldom offered.
Babelon p. 146, “Cohen never tried to be ‘scientific’ but, rather, simply precise, and it is thanks to this that he did such a great service to science, publishing valuable coin descriptions.” Leitzmann p. 27.
