<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3679936, member: 82616&quot;]I thought it would worthwhile to take a moment to spotlight a book that has been a faithful companion to me on my collecting journey - <i>Coins of the Roman Empire in the British Museum II: Vespasian to Domitian.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]987878[/ATTACH]</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Even though it has been largely superseded by the new RIC II.1, there isn&#039;t a day that goes by that doesn&#039;t see me consulting it for one reason or another. When I first began collecting Flavian coinage, this book was my bible - heck, the coins in my collection were arranged according to its catalogue until the publication of the new RIC. Today, despite being a bit outdated and missing many recently discovered rarities, BMCRE II is an invaluable source for citations of older provenances, collections, and sales. It also has the distinction of being based on an actual collection, which affords it to be a most useful resource for frequency ratings.</p><p>The introductions for each reign are insightful containing information found nowhere else. H. Mattingly&#039;s early 20th century romantic prose is a joy to read - his enthusiasm for the subject is on almost every page.</p><p><br /></p><p>For all the above reasons, this book is an indispensable part of my library, I couldn&#039;t imagine collecting without it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have a similar book?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
