Further reading on numismatics and bibliographies
Antiquity
- Greek Numismatics
As the compilers say this bibliography is not comprehensive - it is only 12 pages. Works are divided into 15 categories such as 'Co-operative coinages' and 'Coinage in Fiscal and Monetary Systems'.
- Seleucid Numismatics
Not up-to-date (last up-dated 15 July 2005) but a useful list compiled by Oliver D. Hoover.
- Parthian Numismatics
This will take you to a number of bibliographical tools on Parthian subjects in general, not just numismatics. The bibliographies seem to have been last updated in 2009 - the site owner has been working on the Sylloge of Parthian coins. This lists are searchable.
- Bibliography of Coinage of Julius Caesar
Complied by Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. In alphabetical order of author.
- Nabatean Bibliography
A specialist, up-to-date, listing in alphabetical order by author, maintained by Vincent West.

Another specialist bibliography, arranged alphabetically by author, compiled by Vincent West. It includes sale catalogues.
- Byzantine Numismatics
A list by category.
Medals
Medieval and Modern
Oriental and African
- Zeno Oriental Coins
As well as an enormous collection of oriental coins the Zeno website shows and comments on books on the series. This is not a systematic bibliography but lists books which readers might not otherwise be aware of. It is updated by its members.
- Coins and History of Asia
Tom Mallon-McCorgray's website has a very useful bibliography on oriental coins in addition to all the illustrations and information on the coins themselves.

This is a list, in alphabetical order by author, of a collector's (Jim Farr's) library of books, articles, reviews etc. on oriental and other numismatics. It is extensive (261 pages) and annotated.
