<p>[QUOTE="Aleph, post: 8170768, member: 89969"]Aside from the satisfaction to hold a book in your hands, the books provide context, related issues, and commentary. Ocre is great but it is just the bare bones. It is nice to see more photos on OCRE, but the quality varies. Just remember that OCRE is only as good as the book. For flavians and Hadrian, the catalog is great. For a lot of eras where RIC has not been updated, you should either look for a specialist study, e.g., something like MIR or something more narrow, or if your interest is not that deep, use Sear.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to whether anybody actually uses RIC, it highly depends on era!
