<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3127315, member: 75525&quot;]Welcome to ancient coin collecting [USER=31685]@Lawtoad[/USER] ! I hope you have as much fun learning history and coins as I have. I think the first book in the series by Sayles is a good starting place. I started with a book of the Roman emperors (not a coin book, but had coin pics of most emperors) for $35 at the coin shop where I started buying ancient coins. From there I moved to Sear, Grueber and Crawford in the Roman Republican coin area. I like <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/</a>. You can see lots of coins like those you can buy. </p><p>Are you a lawyer? Maybe you can tell us when the following Volumes of RIC are out of copyright. I think Vol 1 should be out of copyright this year (95 years after issue), but I am not of sound legal mind on the subject. It looks like a few are out of copyright in the next few years if the 95 year time is correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>vol 1: Augustus–Vitellius (31 BC–69 AD), 1923 </p><p>vol 2: Vespasian–Hadrian (69–138), 1926</p><p>vol 3: Antoninus Pius–Commodus (138–192), 1930</p><p>vol 4a: Pertinax–Geta VII and Caracalla (193–217), 1936</p><p>vol 4b: Macrinus–Pupienus (217–238), 1930</p><p>vol 4c: Gordian III–Uranius Antoninus (238–253), 1949</p><p>vol 5a: Valerian–Florian (253–276), 1927</p><p>vol 5b: Marcus Aurelius Probus–Maximian (276–310), 1933</p><p>vol 6: The Diocletian Reform–Maximinus II (294–313), 1967</p><p>vol 7: Constantine I–Licinius (313–337), 1966</p><p>vol 8: The Family of Constantine I (337–364), 1981</p><p>vol 9: Valentinian I–Theodosius I (364–395)</p><p>vol 10: The Divided Empire, 395–491, 1994</p><p>Western Roman Empire : Flavius Honorius–Romulus Augustus (395-476)</p><p>Eastern Roman Empire : Flavius Arcadius–Zeno (395-491)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
