Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum
Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (SNG) is a project to publish ancient Greek coinage, founded in Great Britain by the British Academy in 1930. It was originally intended to catalogue both public and private Greek coin collections in the UK. It has gradually spread to other countries, and has now published more than 120 volumes. In 1972 the project was adopted by the Union Académique Internationale. Volumes are now published under the patronage of the International Numismatic Council. The British project has also established an online database, which includes over 25,000 coins in British collections. Though not necessarily comprehensive, it is considered a useful resource for researched Greek and Greek Imperial coinage for numismatists A numismatist is a specialist in numismatics ("of coins"; from Late Latin ''numismatis'', genitive of ''numisma'').

In 1956, its unofficial committee secured recognition as a committee of the British Academy through the good offices of its first chairman, Sir Frank Stenton. The first volume, on Anglo-Saxon Coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (prepared by Philip Grierson), was published two years later in 1958. Since that date over sixty additional volumes have been published, covering both museum and some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lombard Syllogae
Many travellers in Lombard Italy during the sixth through eighth centuries wrote down inscriptions in ''syllogae'' (singular ''sylloge''), providing an important record of what was left of ancient Rome during the Lombard period. Generally written by Anglo-Saxons, the ''syllogae'' demonstrate that inscriptions were plentiful along the ''via Flaminia'' and in the city of Rome.Everett, ''Literacy'', 243–44. The reasons for recording inscriptions varied. Some are interested solely in inscriptions on churches and Christian monuments. These, like ''Sylloge einsiedlensis'' from the time of Charlemagne and Pope Hadrian I, often include itineraries of "the places of the saints" (''loca sanctorum''), for the benefit of fellow pilgrims, and reports of the liturgical practices of the '' Patria sancti Petri''. Others, like the ''Sylloge laureshamensis'', contain classical and pagan inscriptions with references to emperors, important personages, titles and offices. The author of the ''Lauresham ...
