AKERMAN. J. Y. |
| Title |
A Descriptive Catalogue of Rare and unedited Roman Coins: from the earliest period of the Roman Coinage to the extinction of the Empire under Constantius Paleologus. London, 1834 |
| Description |
Two volumes. Octavo, pp. xxii, 506; 512; engraved plates throughout. Interleaved throughout with blanks, and with innumerable annotations in ink in a neat 19th century hand. Ex-library, with the usual labels but with minimal library stamps. Neatly, uniformly and sturdily bound in two volumes in polished brown half morocco, backs gilt; marbled page edges; some occasional spotting, especially on a few of the plates, but generally an attractive set of one of Akerman’s scarcer works, with the added advantage of having been annotated by a Victorian numismatist. £295
