Amazon.com Description: This is a full-scale study of the history of money, not merely of coinage, to have been written for medieval Europe. The book is not limited to one country, or to any one period or theme, but extracts the most important elements for the historian across the broadest possible canvas. Its scope extends from the mining of precious metals on the one hand, to banking, including the use of cheques and bills of exchange, on the other. Chapters are arranged chronologically, rather than regionally or thematically, and offer a detailed picture of the many and changing roles played by money, in all its forms, in all parts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Thus money is seen as having differing values for differing parts of individual societies. The book shows money moving and changing as a result of war and trade and other political, economic and ecclesiastical activities without regard for national barriers or the supposed separation between 'East' and 'West'.

The Marvel Epic Collection is an ongoing line of color trade paperbacks that republish Marvel comics in a uniform trade dress. Announced in April 2013, their stated intention was to collect entire runs of characters or titles as "big fat collections with the best price we can maintain", in similar manner to the discontinued black-and-white Essential Marvel.

*I had been collecting the Essential line, but stopped when Epics were announced and the Essentials dropped. It took some years, but I started collecting the Epic line instead. The Wikipedia page is well maintained and probably the best source for this line of Trade Paperbacks.

Il Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (di seguito "MANN'), tra i più antichi e importanti al mondo per ricchezza e unicita del patrimonio, prende origine dal Real Museo Borbonico e, prima ancora, dall'Herculanense Museum all'interno della Reggia di Portici. L'origine e al formazione delle collezioni ivi contenute sono legate alla figura di Carlo III di Borbone, sul trono del Regno di Napoli dal 1734 la 1759: li re promosse l'esplorazione dele città vesuviane sepolte dall'eruzione del 79 dC.. e curò al realizzazione in citta di un Museo Farnesiano, trasferendo dalle residenze di Roma e Parma parte della ricca collezione ereditata dalla madre Elisabetta Farnese. Si deve al figlio Ferdinando IV li progetto di riunire nell'attuale edificio, i due nuclei della Collezione Farnese e della raccolta di reperti vesuviani gia esposta nel Museo Ercolanese all'interno della Reggia di Portici. Nel decennio della dominazione francese (1806-1815) furono realizzati i primi allestimenti e con il ritorno dei Borbone a Napoli nel 1816 assunse al denominazione di Real Museo Borbonico, concepito come Museo universale, ospitava istituti e laboratori successivamente trasferiti in altre sedi nel 1957. Il Museo diviene Nazionale nel 1860, e el collezioni sono andate arricchendosi con l'acquisizione di reperti provenienti dagli scavi nei siti della Campania e dell'Italia Meridionale e dal collezionismo privato. Il trasferimento della Pinacoteca a Capodimonte nel 1957 ne determina l'attuale fisionomia di Museo Archeologico.

Coinage of the Roman Republic Online (CRRO) aims to provide in effect an online version of Michael Crawford's 1974 publication Roman Republican Coinage (RRC), which is still the primary typology used for the identification of Roman Republican coin types. Since its publication in 1974 there have been significant revisions to the dating of the series following the discovery of new hoards, but no attempt has been made to reflect these or make any other amendments to the published typology at this stage. The descriptions for these coins are based on the typology set out in RRC, but have been modified to meet the standards of the British Museum’s collection management system. Additional types not in the British Museum’s collection were added to this database by Richard Witschonke of the ANS.

The Museum’s exhibition units are mainly topographical and thematic. The first large gallery features a glass-floored ramp that emulates the Acropolis’ slopes and showcases the archaeological discoveries made there. On ascending to the first-floor level, with its initial high ceiling and skylights, one finds displays from the Archaic Acropolis, while in a western section are presented sculptures from the Athena Nike temple and the Erechtheion, as well as architectural members from the Propylaia. The culmination of the Museum’s exhibition plan, the third floor, is devoted exclusively to the sculptures of the Parthenon. The final exhibition unit, reached after returning to the north wing of the first floor, includes works from the 5th cent. BC to the end of antiquity.
