Curtisimo'sFavorite books and the like Medieval Slavic Coinages in the BalkansI was surprise that my favorite reference book of 2018 was a medieval reference.  I bought this book so I could research my new Ragusan Dinar and was not disappointed.  It has a lot of very good information and is presented in a easy to follow way.  It contains a catalog with line drawings of the coin type shown right next to the catalog number (as opposed to separately at the end).  Photos of the coins being discussed are included right in the text as shown below.  I highly recommend this book for anyone who collects medieval coinage of the Balkans.[ATTACH=full]864155[/ATTACH] Galerius and the will of DioclectianI also like to continue adding history focused books to my library not just because I enjoy learning about history but also because it helps add context to the coins I am interested in.  As many of you know one of my sub collections is coins of Diocletian and the tetrarchy and this book is one of the most available sources for historical information on this period.  I am still reading but so far I have been greatly enjoying the book.[ATTACH=full]864153[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
