Ancient numismatics

Piero Bartoloni, Carla Perra, Punic coins from the Pispisa collection. Series II (264-241 BC), National Research Council, Rome 1998, pp. 43, 73 plates, 28 cm, softcover edition with dust jacket.

Supplement to the Journal of Phoenician Studies, no. XXVI (1998).

The volume offers the complete edition of a treasure trove of Punic coins found by chance in 1961 in the territory of Torralba in Sardinia. The coins, originally about 4000 but then largely dispersed due to various vicissitudes, were acquired by Vittorio Pispisa during his activity as Honorary Inspector and were finally donated by him to the Archaeological Museum of Carbonia. Those published here all belong to series II (O/ Head of Kore; R/ Standing Horse), attested in numerous variants, nine of which are unpublished. For this series, the find of Torralba is undoubtedly the numerically most important in Sardinia. The work therefore represents a significant contribution to numismatic and archaeological studies, in particular on the Punic coinage on the island in the 3rd century BC.
