Bronzo. 159 pages, plates 38-140. Volume III. Bronzo. 234 pages, plates 141-162. All bound in matching brownish-olive cloth. The standard work on Roman medallions. Edges a bit bumped, covers a little dusty and dirty, several plates in Volume III loose, bindings a little weak overall. Very Good copies.

From the library of an American dealer.

The production value on this reprint had to have been pretty low, as nearly every copy we have seen from this edition has loose plates and weak bindings
