Dekesel B166. Lipsius 26. Mayer 58. The second title complements the author’s 1781 publication but is considerably rarer. In part, it is a refutation of the arguments advanced by Oluf Gerhard Tychsen after publication of the initial work. Of these 1781 and 1790 Bayer volumes, Brunet notes: “Ces deux ouvrages sont fort estimés, et l’exécution typographique en est magnifique. Dekesel B167. Lipsius 26. Mayer 59.

Mediolani (Milan): ex ædibus Societatis Palatinæ, Superiorim permissu, 1730. Folio [40.5 by 26 cm], later light brown mottled boards; early hand-lettered spine label skillfully applied to spine. (14), 624 pages; title printed in red and black with a fine medallion engraving; superbly engraved oval portrait plate of Mediobarbi; woodcut initials; 235 very fine engravings of Roman portrait coins in the text. Lacking some prelims, including frontispiece and engraved dédicace; main text complete. Opening leaves a bit tattered; barring occasional spotting, bulk of text is rather near fine. This 1730 issue, expanded by Filippo Argelati, is the best edition of Occo’s landmark work. Adolph Occo (1524–1606), was a German doctor and humanist from Augsburg whose work in the field of Roman numismatics is acknowledged as a major factor in the early development of numismatics as a science. Imperatorum romanorum numismata is particularly important as it abandons the grouping of Roman coins by metal and adopts, instead, a chronological classification. Cunnally observes that Occo’s Numismata served as a model for the great nineteenth-century catalogues of Roman imperial coins written by Theodore-Edme Mionnet and Henry Cohen, “a lineage that culminates in the Roman Imperial Coinage begun by Mattingly and Sydenham in 1923.” While paying tribute to his numismatic prowess, Babelon observes that “the eccentric doctor Adolphus Occo of Augsburg (1524–1606)” was “an advocate of the use of rhubarb, who declared that his conscience would not permit him to accept the change to the Gregorian calendar.” Babelon 78–79.
