[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 2856162, member: 76221"]Two very good books I have found very helpful. The most recent, [I]Late Roman Bronze Coinage, An attribution guide for poorly preserved coins.[/I] Author, Guido Bruck, Translated by Alisdair Menzies. It has very well designed ink drawings that enable one to visualize the devices and inscriptions for each emperor of this era from Constantine I through Constantine II. It was published in 2014. The very old, but venerable [I]Late Roman Bronze Coinage[/I] by Carson, Hill and Kent. The most recent reprint 1976 by Spink & Sons LTD. I haven't checked on availability of this one recently, I purchased mine in the mid '80's. These issues are really amazing in their shear volume and breath of design. Throw in the many mints that struck them, off you go to a real challenge and rewards. This is my hobby, I do it for fun. Look at as many as you can find, if you can decipher the poorly struck ones, the rest are much easier.[/QUOTE]
