One of the more unusual sources for lost or ruinous buildings from ancient Greece or Rome is coinage. This well-illustrated and accessible study examines a wide range of coins which recall and evoke buildings which were clearly important to Roman powers. The book is arranged by building-type, including roads, harbours, aqueducts, Rome's public buildings, temples, triumphal arches and altars. Many coins are illustrated and all technical terms are explained in the glossary.

This engaging book is an excellent resource for classes on Roman art, architecture, history, civilization, and sport and spectacle.

Vol. 83 contains final report of the finances from 1949 to the closing of the organization in 1956.
