Guido Bruck
Guido Bruck (born November 11, 1920 in Vienna , † March 13, 1966 in Melk ) was an Austrian numismatist .
As a result of war and imprisonment, he only obtained a doctorate in philosophy in 1948. In the same year he came to the collection of medals, coins and money tokens of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna , where he was curator of the antique department at the time of his too early death .
Above all, his work The late Roman copper coinage (1961) is groundbreaking, opening up late ancient Roman coinage according to the Rever typology .
