190pp + index + several foldouts depicting ancient coins. Text entirely in Latin. The cover is not original, and is a homemade leather cover with the initials EDB on it. The book is not actually bound to the cover, but rather the cover simply is used for protection. Original spine is missing, but pages are still holding together (though outer pages are loose) from the original structure of the spine. Many chips around the edges of the pages. Pages are discolored and have a few creases, but readability is not a problem. Size: 8mo - over 7 3/4" - 9 3/4" tall. Quantity Available: 1.... View more info

This is a very special old book with a lot of charm, and is a study on the Verona Amphitheater. It has several illustrations, many of which fold out. The foldouts are in very good condition. The pages are clean and a bit wavy, and the binding is loose. I'm not totally sure whether the cover is a type of paper, cloth, or animal skin (although my bet is a type of hard paper). There are some flakes and the corners are rounded, but it is in quite good condition for its age. The title is handwritten on the spine, and part of it is worn to the point that you can't quite make out a couple of le... View more info
