<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2804792, member: 14873&quot;]The first reference book I bought that was dedicated to Roman Britain coins was:</p><p><br /></p><p>The Coinage of Roman Britain by Gilbert Askew (Seaby Publications, London)</p><p><br /></p><p>.......... in the early 1950s. It has been my faithful (and useful) companion throughout my collecting years. Although RIC, Volume VI has sperceded it as my primary London Mint (294 to 306) Coinage reference, I still refer to it quite frequently -- I especially enjoy Askew&#039;s narratives. This book often gets short shrift from present day numismatists/collectors because of its lack of coin photographs (somewhat primitive line drawings instead) and (for some) perceived out-of-date attributions, but I enjoy Askew&#039;s easy writing style and I find his attributions to be quite reliable. This book is a dear old friend to me -- it can be readily obtained from several online book sellers quite inexpensively.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
