This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coin and Medal Bulletin, Vol. 2: February 1917 For many years back catalogues of important collections of store cards have almost invariably listed the above card of the Catch Club, of the de nomination of cents, and the piece has always been regarded as fairly rare and held in much esteem by collectors of the' store cards or private issue series. No information as to its reason for being has been forthcom ing, although it would be greeted with much interest. It is inferred that the spade - shaped shield on the reverse surrounded by thirteen stars is the emblem of the club. In the upper part of the shield is a ship, in the centre a plow, and in the lower part three objects the nature of which cannot be clearly distinguished on the specimen we have in hand. It seems to be taken for granted that the card is associated with Philadelphia. Can one of our readers give the desired information?

Download or read book Animals in Celtic Life and Myth written by Miranda Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals played a crucial role in many aspects of Celtic life: in the economy, hunting, warfare, art, literature and religion. Such was their importance to this society, that an intimate relationship between humans and animals developed, in which the Celts believed many animals to have divine powers. In Animals in Celtic Life and Myth, Miranda Green draws on evidence from early Celtic documents, archaeology and iconography to consider the manner in which animals formed the basis of elaborate rituals and beliefs. She reveals that animals were endowed with an extremely high status, considered by the Celts as worthy of respect and admiration.

Download or read book The Soho Manufactory Mint and Foundry West Midlands written by George Demidowicz and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the ground-breaking historic industrial complex created to the west of Birmingham in the eighteenth century and associated with Matthew Boulton, James Watt, and William Murdoch. The Soho Manufactory (1761-1863) and Soho Mint (1788-1850s) were both situated in the historic parish of Handsworth, now in the city of Birmingham, and the Soho Foundry (1795-1895) lay in the historic township of Smethwick, now within Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. Together they played a key role in the Industrial Revolution , achieving many world 'firsts': the first working Watt steam engine, the first steam-engine powered mint and the first purpose-built steam engine manufactory (the Soho Foundry), to name but a few. Existing literature focuses largely on the biography of the people, primarily Boulton and Watt, or the products they manufactured. The place - the Soho complex - has attracted very little attention. This volume is the first to concentrate on the buildings themselves analysing not only their physical origins, development and eventual decline but also the water and steam power systems adopted. An interdisciplinary approach has been employed combining archival research in the magnificent Soho collection at the Library of Birmingham with the results of archaeological excavations. The volume is profusely illustrated with archival material, most published for the first time, and contains a large number of reconstruction plans and drawings by the author.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Palmyra written by Rubina Raja and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from thirty archaeologists, epigraphists, historians, and philologists, this book covers Palmyra's archaeological remains and history from its earliest phases in the pre-Roman era to the destruction of many of its monuments during the Syrian Civil War and subsequent looting. The authors give comprehensive overviews of already published evidence, as well as significant new findings and analyses from fieldwork, and cover a broad range of themes, which not only relate to the archaeology and history of the site, but also to its relationship with the rest of the ancient world as a major trade hub during the Roman period.
