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 Gardens of the Roman Empire written by Wilhelmina F. Jashemski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gardens of the Roman Empire, the pioneering archaeologist Wilhelmina F. Jashemski sets out to examine the role of ancient Roman gardens in daily life throughout the empire. This study, therefore, includes for the first time, archaeological, literary, and artistic evidence about ancient Roman gardens across the entire Roman Empire from Britain to Arabia. Through well-illustrated essays by leading scholars in the field, various types of gardens are examined, from how Romans actually created their gardens to the experience of gardens as revealed in literature and art. Demonstrating the central role and value of gardens in Roman civilization, Jashemski and a distinguished, international team of contributors have created a landmark reference work that will serve as the foundation for future scholarship on this topic. An accompanying digital catalogue will be made available at: www.gardensoftheromanempire.org.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***NOW THE SUBJECT OF THE MAJOR BBC TV SERIES *** DISCOVER THE INCREDIBLE TRUE CRIME STORY OF SERIAL KILLER, CHARLES SOBHRAJ, AND THE RACE TO BRING HIM TO JUSTICE Charles Sobhraj remains one of the world's great con men, and as a serial killer, the story of his life and capture endures as legend. Born in Vietnam to a Vietnamese mother and Indian father, Sobhraj grew up with a fluid sense of identity, moving to France before being imprisoned and stripped of his multiple nationalities. Driven to floating from country to country, continent to continent, he became the consummate con artist, stealing passports, smuggling drugs and guns across Asia, busting out of prisons and robbing wealthy associates. But as his situation grew more perilous, he turned to murder, preying on Western tourists dropping out across the 1970s hippie route, leaving a trail of dead bodies and gruesome crime scenes in his wake. First published in 1979, but updated here to include new material, On the Trail of the Serpent draws its readers into the story of Sobhraj's life as told exclusively to journalists Richard Neville and Julie Clarke. Blurring the boundaries between true crime and novelisation, this remains the definitive book about Sobhraj - riveting tale of sex, drugs, adventure and murder.
