The second fascicule completes the publication of the important and wide-ranging collection of Greek coins formed by the Revd S. S. Lewis (1836-91) and bequeathed to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. The 892 coins catalogued in this volume are Greek Imperial issues, mostly dating from the first three centuries AD and from mints as far afield as Spain and India, Russia and Egypt. The coinages of ancient Judaea are particularly well represented. The catalogue includes many rare and interesting coins and the collection as a whole provides a fascinating insight into the collecting tastes of a nineteenth-century scholar. This book is intended for collectors and dealers in ancient coins. Scholars and postgraduate students of ancient numismatics and history.
