Les monnaies antiques de l'Italie

Sambon organizes the Greek and Italic coinages of ancient Italy by region and mint, discussing chronology, standards, types, and historical context with four plates. It is useful for decoding the Sambon numbers still encountered in catalogues, for identifying early collection references, and for comparing Greek colonial issues with neighboring indigenous series. The work also preserves attributions and rarity assessments from the active Italian and Parisian coin markets around 1900.

Because the work predates much of the modern archaeological, die-study, epigraphic, and provenance evidence, verify dates, mint or ruler assignments, legend readings, authenticity, and current specimen locations against current corpora and databases.
