A classicist by training, Hill built his career at the British Museum's department of coins and medals. In his forty-three years there he produced volumes on coins of antiquity; Greek history and art; coins, heraldry, and iconography of medieval and Renaissance Italy; and treasure troves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1931 Hill became the Museum's director and principal librarian, the first archaeologist to hold this post. His four-volume History of Cyprus (1940–52) ranged from Cyprus's earliest years to the twentieth century, and became the standard text on the subject. It is a valuable resource for scholars of the country, of antiquity and of the Mediterranean world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume 3, organized largely around monarchical reigns, concludes Hill's analysis of the Frankish period (1432–1571).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"format_title\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pagination\"\u003e746 pages, 3 Tables, black and white; 2 Maps; 19 Halftones, black and white; 4 Line drawings, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrint on demand.
