Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book collects and describes an array of monetary artifacts arising from the extremities faced by various besieged Italian cities, from ancient times right up to the early 19th century. From what might be the earliest Italian siege coinage struck at Novara in 1495 to pieces issued during the epic siege of Mantua in 1630 and the Napoleonic era Venetian blockade, this book provides a detailed study of these often beautiful and evocative artifacts. The text is well illustrated with clear photographs of the cataloged pieces, many of which are of the utmost rarity. The author, an expert numismatist, places these monetary artifacts within the broader context of siege warfare, and by association, the political, economic and social consequences that affected the usage and distribution of these rare and wonderful objects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780332560120_0
