Traité des Monnaies Grecques et Romaines

(under construction)

Google has scanned three volumes of Babelon's Traité des Monnaies Grecques et Romaines: Part 1 - Théorie et Doctrine, Part 2 - Description Historique, Part 2 (or 3?) Planches I. Unfortunately, Google's scans are really bad. Pages are missing and out-of-order.

I've put the plates in the original order. In the future I'd like to improve this by hyperlinking from these plates to coin descriptions in Description Historique, and from the Historia Numorum to these plates. I'm also working on an English translation of the table of contents of Description Historique. Unfortunately, 37 plates are missing. I encourage readers to find scans of these pages and send them to me. I also encourage readers to find scans of the second volume of plates.

An English translation of Théorie et Doctrine, Ancient Numismatics and its History: Including a Critical Review of its Literature, translated by Elizabeth Saville was published in 2004 by Kolbe & Spink. Forni reprinted the original French text in 1976. The nine volume French reprint is available from Classical Numismatic Group for $700.
