Product Description
Product Description
This price guide is a book for the collector rather than the scholar and, as such, has to be pocket-sized and inexpensive. It assumes that the reader will be more interested in assigning a coin to its proper period or Emperor than in working out the meaning of the design on the reverse and, therefore, whilst most of the usual obverse portraits and legends are illustrated, the reverses are dealt with in a much more cursory manner. As an aid to identification, all illustrations are as close to life-sized as possible. Remember, that often Roman coins are not completely circular like modern coins. Further, not all Roman base-metal coins are included. This is a selection of the available material, including the vast majority of the coins the collector is likely to encounter in 'real life'.

This book was shown to me by another coin collector so I got one for myself.It is ideal for someone who is starting to collect Roman bronze/copper coins.It gives lots of general information and details with drawings of 100's of coins,their prices in £ and $ and is easy to use.For its price it is I think the best you can get.It does not cover many rarer issues and neither could it as the different issues of Roman coins run into many thousands,as they were minted all over the then known world.CB

This is a handy little book to help someone with a few roman coins to roughly identity them. It concentrates on Obverses rather than Reverses to give an idea of the Emperor. The values given for the coins seem very high.
