Product Description
The Third Century Crisis and Recovery, A.D. 235-285
Volume I covered a period of approximately 375 years, from the origins of the Roman coinage in the Republican period in the opening decades of the 3rd century BC down to the violent end of the second Imperial dynasty, the Flavian, in AD 96. Volume II extended coverage of the Imperial series from the accession of Nerva down to the overthrow of the Severan dynasty in 235.
This third volume continues the comprehensive revision and covers in detail the following half century, a very different period during which the Empire came perilously close to total disintegration under the pressure of foreign invasions and seemingly interminable civil war. The economy also collapsed and with it the Imperial coinage, a desperate situation which was only partially alleviated by the currency reform of Aurelian undertaken late in his reign.
The complexities of the mint attributions in this chaotic period - lacking as they do in almost every instance the name or initial of the responsible mint - have been dealt with in light of recent scholarship. Also included are detailed listings of the Antoninianus coinage not covered in the "Roman Silver Coins" series.

Part 3 of long awaited reference
12 May 2009
Great guide to the coinages of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD. Part 3 of what will become a 5 or more part total review of the coinages of the Roman Empire. Not totally complete in all types but major types are illustrated and priced in dollars US and pounds British so one can get a ballpark figure of what to pay if assembling a collection. Recommended for all serious coin collectors who wish to assemble a collection of ancient Roman coins.
