This volume continues documenting the well-known excavations at
Morgantina, a Greek town in central Sicily, in a presentation of
the largest body of coins ever unearthed at an Italian site and
published as a group. The excavations, conducted by Princeton
University, The University of Illinois, and The University of
Virginia between 1955 and 1981, produced nearly 10,000 identifiable
coins--most of them at of Sicilian Greek and Roman issues, struck
before the end of the first century B.C. The numismatic evidence
not only made possible the initial identification fo the side as
Morgantina, but has subsequently opened the way to reconstructing
the history of early Roman Republican coinage and the bronze
coinage of Greek Sicily. The catalogue presents a full list of the
coins found at Morgantina through the 1981 season, with discussion
of significant issues and illustrations of 679 specimens. A
completed corpus and study of the coins struck at Morgantina is
also included. Theodore V. Buttrey is Professor Emeritus of
Classical Studies at the University of Michigan. Kenan T. Erim is
Professor of Classical Archaeology at New York University. Thomas.
D. Groves is a graduate student in the Department of Classical
Archaeology at Princeton University. R. Ross Holloway is Professor
of Classical Archaeology at Brown University. Originally published
in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously

to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
