Henkel, Friedrich (Hrsg.): Die römischen Fingerringe der Rheinlande und der benachbarten Gebiete. Text-and plate volumes. 2 vols. Berlin: Reimer 1913. 31,3 x 25,5 cm. With 80 photolithographic plates and numerous illustrations in the text. XXVIII pp., 1 folio, 387 pp. Half-linen binding with back label.
(Rubbed, edges frayed and torn, binding defects on the spines, water-stained, discoloured. The text volume has water stains throughout the interior. Both volumes are discoloured; the illustrated volume has water stains in places. The last 5 plates and the contents page have spot stains.)
A standard work on provincial Roman archaeology and, to this day, a fundamental reference on Roman finger rings from the Rhineland and neighbouring regions. The comprehensive text volume offers a systematic analysis with typological classification and numerous illustrations, whilst the separate illustrated volume contains 80 photogravures of documented artefacts. Compiled with the support of the Roman-Germanic Commission of the Imperial Archaeological Institute.
