Owl References

 

 

The following are among the most important journal articles and books that cover in whole or part Athenian Owls. There are many others out there, including those I've personally found useful, about imitative Owls and other issues related to this coinage. There are also many SNGs and other attribution references useful to the study of these coins, which I'll also be later adding to the list below.
