Erasmus Froelich. Annales Regum et Rerum Syriae. Vienna, Kaliwoda e Bernardi, 1754. Rare edition of the famed historical-numismatic work by the renowned Austrian historian and archaeologist. The work narrates three centuries of the history of the ancient Kingdom of Syria from the death of Alexander the Great to the arrival of Gnaeus Pompeius, which marked the end of the Seleucid kingdom and the reduction of Syria to a Roman province. The historical and dynastic reconstruction is inferred and validated through the study of ancient coins. Two parts in one volume. Bound in rustic cardboard boards of the period. Calligraphic title on the spine. Double title page in red and black, the second dated 1750. Frontispiece portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria. Illustrated by a magnificent large map of the Middle East between the Black Sea and the Arabian Desert and between the eastern basin of the Mediterranean with the islands of Rhodes and Cyprus and the western shores of the Caspian Sea, folded several times, and 22 plates containing numerous engravings of coins from the Greek and Seleucid periods. A portion of an index page is missing. Dimensions 38 x 26 cm, pages 28, unnumbered 12, 92, 158, unnumbered 10. Excellent condition.
