Baldwin's have added some more new books to their online numismatic literature list. Here are a couple that caught my eye.

Le Tessere Erotiche Romane
Simonetta, B. & Riva, R. Le Tessere Erotiche Romane (Spintrae). Lugano, 1981. Small quarto, pp. 44, 7 b/w plates. Text in Italian but with
summaries in French, German and English. Casebound. Rarely seen. Inscription on title page, slight damp staining to endpapers else fine.
We've discussed this book before - see the earlier article. While dubbed "brothel tokens" in the past, that may not be
what their erotic scenes depict. Interesting nonetheless. -Editor
