Le Monete Dei Possedimenti Veneziani Di Oltremare E Di Terraferma Descritte Ed Illustrate Da Vincenzo Lazari

''Le monete dei possedimenti veneziani di oltremare e di terraferma descritte ed illustrate da Vincenzo Lazari'' is a historical account published in the mid-19th century. The work provides an extensive examination of the coinage from the Venetian Republic, particularly focused on its colonial holdings in the Dalmatian and Albanian regions, addressing the significance of these coins in the context of Venetian history and commerce. The opening of the work introduces Lazari's commitment to shedding light on the often-overlooked numismatic history of Venice's overseas possessions. He outlines the endeavor to correctly classify and describe these coins, distinguishing them from those of the metropolis and relating them to the socio-political context of Venice's dominance over these regions. Lazari reflects on his research methods, which included delving into historical archives, and he expresses an eagerness to gather critical feedback on his findings. The initial chapters indicate a structured approach to discussing various regions and types of coins, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of their historical significance.
