A collection of three historical works written by Hubert Goltzius. Three early works on numismatics. Looking at old coins and medallions, and the history of Sicily, discussing ancient Greek and ancient Latin, and numismatics in great detail. Goltzius found the basis and groundwork for the systematic study of numismatics.
