<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3060062, member: 19463"]You really are tying one hand behind your back when you insist on having catalog numbers without understanding the books they came from. "RIC VI 285" is a meaningless number but we all know you meant RIC V I 285. RIC VI begins with the currency reform of Diocletian; volume V was issued in two parts. I do not recommend buying RIC volume V which is outdated and incomplete compared to most volumes. Buying it would make it easier to find RIC numbers but add little else to the cause. I do not recommend ERIC II for any use. If he had left out all those pages of catalog numbers making the book a fraction of the size but including his good chapter heads and supplimentary material, I could say many nicer things about it.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=65466.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=65466.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=65466.0</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ericii.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ericii.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ericii.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
