<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2565654, member: 81887&quot;]The main books I use for Roman coins are:</p><p><br /></p><p>-RIC: I only have the first three volumes, but that covers from Augustus to Commodus, which is most of the Roman coins that I am interested in.</p><p>-RSC (Roman Silver Coins): I just have Volume 1, which covers Republican,. Imperatorial, and Augustus in great detail.&nbsp; </p><p>-Sear: RCV (Roman Coins and Their Values), the old 1-volume edition from 1988, largely for sentimental reasons as it was the first ancient coin book I bought, and GIC (Greek Imperial Coins and Their Values) which covers Roman Provincial.&nbsp; GIC is far from complete- if you specialize in provincials you&#039;ll need something more comprehensive- but it&#039;s useful for someone like me who just needs help with the occasional provincial coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another Roman book I like, although it&#039;s not an attribution guide, is Clive Foss&#039; &quot;Roman Historical Coins&quot;.&nbsp; This book lists all Roman coin types, from the Republic to Romulus Augustulus, that reference a specific historical event, whether it&#039;s a military victory (e.g. Judaea Capta), travel to a province (Hadrian&#039;s travel series), public vows (the VOTA types), etc.&nbsp; I find it useful in planning my collection of Roman coins that reference Parthia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
