<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4016944, member: 19463&quot;]RIC really is not one work in ten volumes but over ten different books that share a name.&nbsp; Until recently we thought of it as just ten but they started breaking down the reissues so you need both the new and old volume two if you are to cover the entire period and still have the latest update.&nbsp; Some of the RIC volumes are pretty much useless due to the publication of better options.&nbsp; Some are not all that great but still the latest thing covering an extensive part of one period.&nbsp; I believe the total of all posts on Coin Talk and Forvm ancients considerably improves the coverage of Eastern mint denarii of Septimius Severus compared to the spotty coverage of RIV volume IV.&nbsp; I would buy the volumes that interest you now and hope the revisions come out later for the periods you will want later.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never been a big fan of ERIC II but have to admit that it has a lot of meat for the current discount price.&nbsp; I am still bothered by the problems I mentioned in my review when it was new but I can think of many worse uses for $50.&nbsp; For example:&nbsp; Have you seen the Amazon listing for new copies of Aorta?</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01K3LR378/ref=tmm_pap_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01K3LR378/ref=tmm_pap_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01K3LR378/ref=tmm_pap_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new&amp;qid=&amp;sr=</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Really?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
