Book excerpt: L'Altas des monnaies gauloises de Henri de La Tour, paru en 1892 a été unanimement salué par la critique lors de sa parution. Le livre, qui a fait date, présentait pour la première fois de manière ordonnée un aperçu de l'ensemble des monnaies gauloises grâce aux planches du graveur Dardel. Les 55 planches présentant près de 2000 monnaies gauloises qui correspondent à l'illustration des descriptions du Catalogue des monnaies gauloises de la Bibliothèque Nationale rédigé par M. Muret, M. Chabouillet et M. de La Tour (paru en 1889). En 1876, le ministre de l'Instruction publique décida d'entreprendre un catalogue général des monnaies gauloises. A ce moment, on voulait réunir en un Corpus la description de toutes les pièces de cette série conservées dans les musées publics et dans les collections particulières; le texte devait être accompagné d'un atlas. Il était tout naturel de commencer par mettre à contribution le Cabinet de France, le plus riche en monnaies gauloises. La Commission de topographie des Gaules, qui comptait parmi ses membres Saulcy et Gh. Robert, les deux savants les plus versés dans l'étude de la numismatique gauloise, fut chargée de mèner à bien cette oeuvre ; elle désira avoir pour collaborateurs MM. Chabouillet et Muret, du Cabinet de France. On commença aussitôt à réunir les documents nécessaires et à faire exécuter par Dardel de superbes planches, au nombre de quarante-cinq, qui furent payées sur les fonds alloués à la Commission pour les recherches d'antiquités nationales. Ce plan primitif eut pour résultat de réunir, dans les planches, un très grand nombre de pièces étrangères au Cabinet de France. Les monnaies de la Bretagne insulaire sont, en grande partie, empruntées au bel ouvrage de sir John Evans; les collections du Musée de Saint-Germain, de Ch. Robert, de Danicourt, la découverte de Jersey, etc., furent mises à contribution. En 1883, par suite de la dissolution de la Commission de topographie des Gaules, ses membres cessèrent de s'occuper du Catalogue et de l'Atlas. MM. Chabouillet et Muret en restèrent exclusivement chargés et purent réaliser une idée déjà soumise à leurs collègues qu'ils n'avaient pu convaincre; le Catalogue général des monnaies gauloises devint le Catalogue des monnaies gauloises de la Bibliothèque nationale; on laissa de côté l'Atlas, qui ne concordait plus avec le nouveau plan ; on décida que, lorsque ce serait possible, on publierait un second volume de catalogue consacré aux pièces étrangères au Cabinet de France. Ce projet risque fort, faute de travailleurs de bonne volonté, de ne pas être réalisé de longtemps. En résumé, le Cabinet des médailles de France y a gagné d'avoir un Catalogue de ses richesses, augmenté de nombreuses pièces qui ne font pas partie de ses collections, et cela sans qu'il lui coûtât de sacrifices pécuniaires. Ensuite, il fut reconnu que l'Atlas était le complément nécessaire du Catalogue, et on se décida à le mettre à la disposition du public, qui peut ainsi se servir d'un ensemble de planches telles qu'il n'en avait pas rêvé jusqu'à ce jour. Ce livre classique, bien qu'ancien reste encore aujourd'hui l'ouvrage de référence que devraient posséder tous les collectionneurs de monnaies gauloises.

Download or read book The Roman Villa in the Mediterranean Basin written by Annalisa Marzano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a comprehensive survey of Roman villas in Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of the Roman Empire, from their origins to the collapse of the Empire. The architecture of villas could be humble or grand, and sometimes luxurious. Villas were most often farms where wine, olive oil, cereals, and manufactured goods, among other products, were produced. They were also venues for hospitality, conversation, and thinking on pagan, and ultimately Christian, themes. Villas spread as the Empire grew. Like towns and cities, they became the means of power and assimilation, just as infrastructure, such as aqueducts and bridges, was transforming the Mediterranean into a Roman sea. The distinctive Roman/Italian villa type was transferred to the provinces, resulting in Mediterranean-wide culture of rural dwelling and work that further unified the Empire.

Download or read book Gaulish and Early British Gold Coinage written by John Sills and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The earliest gold coins struck in Gaul were copies of staters issued in the name of Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BC) by Philip himself and his successors.' This detailed study is a corpus, die study and, in places, a re-classification of first generation Philippus imitation coins from across Gaul, and the series that succeeded them up to the beginning of the Gallic Wars. Sills examines the production and chronology of Celtic gold coins as they relate to historical and military events as well as their function and distribution. Placed within the context of finds from areas further east, from Italy, Sicily and Carthage, he asks how and why such coins arrived in Gaul. Includes a catalogue of finds, a list of museum collections, and an appendix of hoards and metallurgical analyses.
