Published in an oversized format (8.5x12"), with good color plates of the coins, this catalogue presents the impressive collection of W.L. Gale, now housed in the Australian Centre for Ancient
Numismatic Studies at Macquarie U. in Sydney. The catalogue entries were written by Kenneth Sheedy and include a description, transcription of any characters, and list of bibliography. Indexes
are provided by geography, control letters and names, monograms, value marks, inscriptions, types, and provenance. Precise, and beautifully produced, this volume is an important addition to the
literature. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
