[QUOTE="Aethelred, post: 2762477, member: 81808"]That is the book I was thinking of [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]. I will admit that it has been years since I read it (maybe I'll get it off the shelf and give it another go), but I remember enjoying it very much as an intro to Greek Imperials. The negative Amazon review might be akin to leaving a review of a Star Wars DVD that says "...once you know Darth Vader is Luke's father this movie isn't very interesting." This book was one of three that were published together by Seaby in the 1980s (The other two being Coinage in the Greek World by Price & Carradice and Coinage in the Roman World by Burnett) that together form an outstanding introduction to Classical numismatics and that I would personally highly recommend to any collector who does not already own them. Just my two denarii worth.[/QUOTE]
