His coinage is easily available and one of the cheapest to acquire. The objective of this new book of 162 pages ( 800 color photos) is ambitious: to replace the famous RIC for this Emperor!</p><p>The classification method adopted by the author is by denomination. In a <b>first chapter</b>, we have the bronze coins&nbsp; (as, dupondius, sestertius). In a <b>second chapter</b>, the most important of the book, we find the silver issues, but we should instead use the term billon for these coins (quinarius, denarius, antoninianus of Rome and those of the Antioch&#039;s mint). The <b>third chapter</b> deals with gold coins ;the quinarii, then the aurei and finally the very rare biniones (double). A <b>fourth chapter</b> is reserved for the issues of medallions which are integrated into the framework of the coinage with the same distribution by metal. A fifth and <b>final chapter</b> is reserved for the coinage of Tranquillina, the wife of Gordian III: for silver and bronze. The classification retained by the author remains that of the Roman Imperial Coinge, Volume IV, part III, published in 1949, that is to say five issues for the workshop of Rome and two for the workshop of Antioch, supplemented by the special issues and hybrids. Finally, let us point out the reasonable price of the book (40 euros) which should perhaps attract new collectors intrigued by this coinage so rich for such a short and eventful period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have a Gordy III that you didn&#039;t show off for a long time ? We would like to see your examples here !</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Gordian III</b> Antoninianus</p><p>Rome 22mm 3.78g</p><p>AETERNITATI AVG</p><p>Sol raising hand in Salute &amp; holding Globe</p><p>RIC 83</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1183217[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
