<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1827528, member: 31620"]I have read various general Ancient numismatics books but not the Sutherland book. I have hundreds of numismatic books covering a hige variety of topics. When I delve into a new area I try and learn more about what is normal for the mint or city or time period I am getting into. I have the Sear series but they are largely unused as they just don't add anything for me as they are general lists without any detail or background information. They illustrate very few examples but don't help to understand chronology, stylistic differences etc. I have several general books but not the Sutherland one. I find these are good for placing some historical context and illustrations of coins that are generally beyond my dreams of owning. I do own several specialist catalogs and find them most beneficial when there is detailed background information and plenty of illustrations.</p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
