Abstract

This book is a welcome addition to the literature of late Roman bronze coins. It is not a catalog, per se, yet can be used for coin identification quite easily. Many references focus on identifying coins based on the emperor involved. This is fine if one can read the legends or recognize the portraits, but becomes much more difficult when portraits become less specific and legends are barely readable. The focus here is on reverse types and I find that useful.
