Ancient numismatics

Marco Dubbini, Giancarlo Mancinelli, History of the coins of Ancona, Editorial work, Ancona 2009, pp. 285, richly illustrated, 29 cm, full cloth binding ed. with gold titles on the spine and dust jacket.

The volume offers a complete review of the coins of Ancona, in constant relation with the historical events and with the evolution of the city mint, which from a municipal institution became a chamber institution in 1532. It is intended as a valuable tool both for those who wish to approach the collecting of the coins of Ancona - from the Hellenistic period (3rd century BC) to the mid-19th century - and for the expert collector, who will find ideas for study and critical analysis. The work is enriched by a broad historical framework that spans the centuries: from the ancient age to the fall of the Roman Empire, from Byzantine influence to the barbarian incursions, from the Saracen and Illyrian raids to the tensions between the Papal States and the imperial powers, to finally arrive at the birth of the Kingdom of Italy under the Savoy monarchy.
