The studies assembled in this volume are dedicated to the memory of
Albert Baldein, a professional numismatist whose chief interest lay
in helping other numismatists, professionals, students and
collectors alike, some of whom record their appreciations here. The
contributions, though they are drawn from a wide variety of fields
- Greek, Roman, Dark Age, Byzantine, English, Scottish, Irish and
European medieval coins, and medals - are all concerned with one or
more facets of the theme set out in the title. Within the general
concept, the essays deal with a diversity of subjects:
* identification of mints
* attribution of coins to specific mints
* coinage current in particular periods
* composition of groups of coins in a given series
* establishment of the correct sequence of issues of such groups.
The essays also demonstrate the use of particular numismatic
techniques such as die-linking, the analysis of hoards and their
statistics, the minute observation of changes in titulature and
inscriptions and comparison of portrait styles. There is much new,
exciting and well-illustrated material for numismatists, and
chapters such as those on Scottish mints and Hadrian's COS III
coins will be of interest to historians.
