<p>[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 8170813, member: 89970"]I use RIC VI by Sutherland and Carson extensively (Diocletian's reform to the death of Maximinus). I know of no better general reference than this that covers the coins of this period. Its very readable and has an extensive historical introduction, plus introductions to each mint (its organized by mint). Maybe it's just because I am particularly interested in this time period, but I think this is the best of the RIC volumes. It is easy to follow, well organized allowing me to find things I'm looking for, and for a reference that was published more than 55 years ago, it's relatively complete and up to date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
