    Also, I put up some inexpensive coins on this page:

    If you prefer Roman visit:

    and there are other pages for the tetrarchy:

    Constantinian:
    http://augustuscoins.com/Constantinian.html
    and later Roman:
    http://augustuscoins.com/Valentinian.html
    Byzantine:
    http://augustuscoins.com/Byzantine.html
    and books and catalogs:
    http://augustuscoins.com/numislit.html

    Personally, I am on a book-and-catalog-loving binge, having bought four Byzantine-coin books, one third-century Rome coin catalog, two later Roman-coin catalogs, one Greek AE coin catalog, and six other catalogs not so easy to peg. Books pay dividends forever after, both in enjoyment and in knowledge.
