Several Roman provincial coins of Bithynian mints are descripted and illustrated by the great antiquarian Pirro Ligorio in the vol. XIII.B1 of his work Antiquitates (Naples, National Library). An overview of this manuscript is offered by examining the drawings of the coins and the related commentary texts, still unpublished. The numismatic classification allows to collect new data about these coins in the context of late Renaissance collections of the ‘medaglie greche’.
