A Catalogue of the Greek Coins in the British Museum: The Ptolomies, Kings of Egypt

This volume of the Catalogue of Greek Coins describes the money of the Ptolemies. It forms part of the series devoted to the coinage of Alexander's successors, of which the Catalogue of the Coins of the Selencidae has already appeared. The difficulties of the production of this work have been very great but they have been lightened by generous aid which is here gratefully acknowledged. M. Revillont, of the Egyptian Department in the Louvre, has afforded valuable information on disputed points of chronology, and M. J.P. Six, of Amsterdam, on the order of the coinage, while Mr. Head and Professor Gardner have assisted in the revision. To M. Feuardent, of Paris, the author's thanks are due for affording him the opportunity of examining and publishing rare coins, particularly from the collection of M. Demetrio of Alexandria, whose liberality in the matter deserves especial acknowledgment.
