To facilitate its use both by laymen and by collectors or specialists, it is divided into two parts. Part one comprises five chapters, with a bibliography for each (see part Two). Part Two consists of a chronological sequence of 306 illustrations (sixteen in colour appearing in Part One), each with its own description, discussion and the relevant bibliography to Spring 1984. Unfortunately, "Studi di Antichità in onore di Guglielmo Maetzke," Rome, 1984, appeared too late to be taken into account." (Intro).
