<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3139951, member: 75525&quot;]I would go with a history (not coin) book or two to cover the time period that Romans issued coins (300 BC to 476 AD). </p><p><br /></p><p>The latter time period is covered well by Michael Grant&#039;s book: The Roman Emperors: A Biographical Guide to the Rulers of Imperial Rome, 31 B.C. - A.D. 476. Grant&#039;s book is available for less than $10, including shipping on Amazon. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]802540[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0760700915/ref=tmm_hrd_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0760700915/ref=tmm_hrd_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0760700915/ref=tmm_hrd_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used&amp;qid=&amp;sr=</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not have one book that covers the Republican period as well as Grant&#039;s book, but you could buy: </p><p>A Primer History of Rome (Paperback) by M. Creighton for less than $10 on amazon. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]802550[/ATTACH] </p><p>Next I would go for an early edition of Sear&#039;s Roman Coins and their Values. The 1964, 1971 and maybe the 1981 issues cover all coins issued by Rome. Later books cover only part of the time period. I found these books in the $10 to $30 range.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]802551[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22880160820&amp;searchurl=kn%3DRoman%2BCoins%2Band%2BTheir%2BValues%26sortby%3D17&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22880160820&amp;searchurl=kn%3DRoman%2BCoins%2Band%2BTheir%2BValues%26sortby%3D17&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title3" rel="nofollow">https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22880160820&amp;searchurl=kn=Roman+Coins+and+Their+Values&amp;sortby=17&amp;cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title3</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Skim the books, look for a time period or person you like and buy a coin or two.</p><p>Happy Hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
