[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3375790, member: 56859"]There are gobs of books which serve as catalogs or references for ancient coins and as you might expect given the millennial span of "ancient" coins and cultures, there isn't one book that covers everything. Some reference books are written by scholars who compile information from various public and private collections and some reference citations are to auction catalogs which feature some prominent collection. Some references are old enough to be in the public domain or have otherwise been made public in the form of .pdf documents or other internet-friendly format. Others are in books, some are in print, others out of print and available in numismatic libraries if you're lucky. I don't know how many reference books and catalogs exist for ancient coins. Many thousands, probably. To get an idea of ones which are more commonly used, browse [URL='https://www.cngcoins.com/Bibliography.aspx']CNG's bibliography[/URL].
