OTTO VOETTER’S articles reissued

[Ocatarinetabellatchitchix]

This booklet (104 pages, 30 black & white plates) is a reissue of an article by Otto Voetter, "Die Münzen des Kaisers Gallienus und seiner Familie", published in 2 parts in Numismatische Zeitschrift 1901, p. 117-147 and 1902, p. 73-110.

These articles constitute the cornerstone of the study of Gallienus’ coinage, providing methodical and rigorous foundations that have stood the test of time. During the 20th century, other authors proposed innovative theses, but Voetter often proved to be a visionary and was already right on many essential points.

Cedric Wolkow, with the help of Hadrien Rambach, managed to trace an original copy that was part of an old German collection. He then spent many hours cleaning, adjusting and digitizing the photos taken. The result ? a complete and clear PDF ready to go through a printer to be made available to collectors for only €13.90 via the Lulu platform. A must have for every 3rd century coins’ lovers.

Just received my copy. Incredibly quality for the low price !

Very interesting! Clearly I should get a copy as I'm quite interested in this period & coinage.

Does it go into any history & perhaps latest archeological findings or is it purely the coins listing?

The first section is about the chronology of this period of the roman empire (what was known 120 years ago…), then it goes by mints and issues. For every monetary workshop there is a brief historical overview, but the most part of the articles is a catalog of Gallienus’ coinage.

I got my copies à few days ago (I ordered two, thinking I might gift someone with the second someday)

[Gallienus]

I am almost done with "Maximinus Thrax" by Pearson. There is a lot of additional information on this period that is now known due to archeology and additional analysis. This also includes a study of coins.  I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in the 3rd century. 

Still Gallienus issued a large variety of types and it would be good to see these. Hopefully the Roman Provincials are included?

I'll definitely get the Gallienus book; thanks for the mention.
