ROMAN. Roman Republican Moneyers and Their Coins, 63 B.C. to 49 B.C. Michael Harlan (Aspects of Ancient Classical Coins, first edition). A focused and highly useful study of the late Republican moneyers, examining a well documented group of 30 issuers from the years immediately preceding the civil wars and using their coinage to reconstruct careers, family connections, and political intent. The work is especially valuable for its clear treatment of how types, legends, and selected imagery functioned as statements of ancestry, office, and propaganda during one of the most strained and decisive phases of the Roman Republic. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition, clean internally. 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.
