Very nice, I'll check out the site. I missed out recently a very nice high grade provincial showing myself in a Swiss auction. I also need to get one of my solidi that I made back when I was still Emperor and before I moved to a retirement community in Florida [where else]? I thought I saved a bag of them somewhere when forced to flee Mediolanum but apparently not... I'm undecided between one of my new styles and the older more traditional solidi which frankly, look like all my predecessors'. I should mention that I've my own website tho it really isn't responsive yet [works best on a computer screen] and is omitting much history. Nontheless: https://coinsandhistory.com/countri...isis-II.htmlEdited by Gallienus

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...70025q.imageThis is a book about medieval French coins (it's in french) this site has a lot of free books and catalogues from collections, museums or auctions (they are old, could be outdated, and are in many languages like french, spanish, german, italian...) But I hope it can be useful to someone.

I know most of the reference works given in this thread are for the ancient world, but ... For anyone who is collecting older (pre-unification) Italian coins or has some in their collection by chance, Corpus Nummorum Italicorum is a comprehensive reference work in 20 volumes, and over 10,000 pages, covering coins from the Carolingian era to the 19th century for all regions of Italy, which is available online here: https://www.numismaticadellostato.i...oteca/corpusThe scale of medieval/early modern Italian coins in my collection doesn't justify investment in a more recent (hard copy) reference like Biaggi or Varesi, so I use CNI. It's organized by region, and you can download pdf files of any volume. It's in Italian, but not so tough to navigate if you can master a handful of terms, and then have a translator program at your disposal. Edited by tdziemia

Dear Reader, Your attention is called to the catalogue of the Lithuanian coins minted within the reigns of Grand Dukes Lithuanian before 1401. Material type: hardcover. Publisher: Vilnius, Lithuania: Baltijos kopija, 2022. Description: 132 pages, English language, color illustrations. ISBN 978-609-417-240-3 . https://www.ebay.com/itm/266017548433The word Lithuania was mentioned for the first time in the annals of Quedlinburg (year 1009) that the story of Saint Bruno of Querfurt who was beheaded by the pagans "on the border of Lithuania and Rus'". Mindowe (about 1200-1263) was the first well known Grand Duke of Lithuania and the only Christian King of Lithuania. The third quarter of the 14th century was marked for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by unprecedented successes in foreign policy led by Grand Duke Olgerdus (1345-1377, lit. Algirdas, blr. #1040;#1083;#1100;#1075;#1077;#1088;#1076;). The territory of the state doubled due to the lands that were previously part of Kievan Rus'. Immediately before the establishment of Lithuanian power, many of these lands were under the rule of dukes from the Rurikid dynasty, some of whom were in varying degrees of dependence on the Golden Horde. Keistutus (lit. K#281;stutis, blr. #1050;#1077;#1081;#1089;#1090;#1091;#1090;), who had power in the western wing of the state, is considered a diarch in relation to Olgerdus. The brothers jointly deprived of power in the state their brother Iaunutus back in 1345. After the death of Olgerdus, Keistutus accepted the supremacy of his son Iagal (lit. Jogaila, blr. #1071;#1075;#1072;#1081;#1083;#1072;), but the disagreements of the dukes finally resulted in the short-term reign of Keistutus over the entire state (1381-1382). Ultimately, Iagal (Grand Duke of Lithuania in 1377-1434, later W#322;adys#322;aw II Jagie#322;#322;o, King of Poland in 1386-1434) physically eliminated Keistutus and gained supreme power over the country. Soon he was invited to the Polish throne, which marked the geopolitical turn of the Lithuanian state from East to West. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was considered the last pagan state in Europe. In 1385 Iagal converted his country to Catholicism. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania, incorporating Lithuania proper, Belarus, most of Ukraine, parts of today's Russia and Poland, became one of the most influential powers in Eastern Europe (14th-16th century). In a way, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a precursor of the European Union with the latter's adherence to the unity in diversity concept..  |
