Life and work
- 1890Ulbrich & Kiely say Munro and Tubbs excavated Salamis for the CEF from January 1890 'with the help of Warwick Wroth'. The 1891 report itself shows only his coin note, so his help is the coin work.

- 1891Examined the coins found in the Cyprus Exploration Fund's 1890 Salamis excavations and furnished a note appended to the report: the bulk are Byzantine and late Roman, poorly preserved; Greek class little represented; one Ptolemy, a Macedonian regal bronze of 279-277 BC from the Agora, a gold half-solidus of Maurice Tiberius (AD 582-602), sestertii of Severus Alexander and Trajan. He later identified further bronze coins from the Site of the Granite Columns and the Sand Site.
