Notes
An elegant book dedicated to ancient coins of the Roman Republic. The cover shows a magnified coin which immediately reveals the artistic value of antique coins. The enlargement also makes the image more interesting, if considering the real size of coins. Texts of title and frontispiece — set in uppercase, tightly tracked Helvetica — although not very legible, is quite interesting from a graphic point of view.
