<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 4251096, member: 74282&quot;]As far as key references for these coins, I would recommend the following specifically for bronzes(assuming you already have Crawford):</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Andrew McCabe&#039;s linked paper. It&#039;s worth reading and re-reading. While it only strictly applies to anonymous bronzes it presents a good framework for understanding the issues with symbols as well. Many symbols were re-used or have &quot;sibling&quot; coins in the same style without symbols. Because of this, style is everything and much can be learned by closely looking at style. Other papers on Andrew&#039;s Academia.edu page are all worth reading as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Essays Hersh - specifically Roberto Russo&#039;s paper on unpublished bronzes. Behind Andrew&#039;s paper, this is one of the better publications since Crawford on bronzes, partially because it has some of the discussion on style, i.e. on the spearhead issues, that I think is an important piece of how to think about these bronzes. This book has a lot of other great RR material as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Kestner-Hannover: this is a great museum catalog with many, many coins illustrated. There are also a lot of errors, though you can find a paper from Richard Schaefer that corrects most of them. This is great for learning about style and developing an eye for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Auction catalogs - Goodman(CNG 44-47 including Triton I), RBW collection (NAC 61 &amp; 63 or the combined book), Vecchi 3. Great sources for many images of bronzes. All but Vecchi 3 can be found online for free. Vecchi 3 is full of mistakes but you&#039;ll learn a lot trying to sort them out</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Online sources: <a href="http://numismatics.org/crro/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/crro/" rel="nofollow">CRRO</a>, <a href="http://numismatica-classica.lamoneta.it/cat/R-REP" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatica-classica.lamoneta.it/cat/R-REP" rel="nofollow">LaMoneta</a>, <a href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://andrewmccabe.ancients.info/" rel="nofollow">Andrew McCabe&#039;s website</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Outside of those sources,<a href="https://twitter.com/andrewahala/status/1235310372749533186?s=19" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://twitter.com/andrewahala/status/1235310372749533186?s=19" rel="nofollow"> Andrew McCabe has announced a book</a> he&#039;s working on specifically on bronzes that will probably supercede everything mentioned above, so definitely watch for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
