ROMAN. Classical and Roman numismatics, spanning a broad sweep of ancient history from Greek civic coinage through the Roman Republic, Empire, late antiquity, and the provincial series.

Sear, Roman Coins and Their Values, a practical handbook and market guide for identification and valuation across the imperial series; (3) Richard Reece, Roman Coins, a concise and widely used introduction helping collectors and students recognise the principal denominations, types, and historical framework of Roman coinage; (4) R. A. G. Carson, Principal Coins of the Romans, Volume I: The Republic (c. 290-31 B.C.), outlining the development of early Roman coinage and the main Republican issues and types; (5) R. A. G. Carson, Principal Coins of the Romans, Volume III: The Dominate (A.D. 294-498), extending the series into the reformed late Empire and the fifth century with its principal types and monetary developments; and (6) Roman Provincial Coinage, Supplement I, British Museum Press, an essential companion volume extending the RPC corpus and particularly valuable for attribution and reference beyond the central imperial coinage. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; with some spotting and handling to a few of the card covers, overall the books are in VG condition. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
