ROMAN. Coinage in Roman Syria: Northern Syria, 64 B.C. to A.D. 253. Kevin Butcher (London, Royal Numismatic Society, 2004). RNS Special Publication, large format, 534 pages with 32 plates, red cloth with dust jacket. A major modern reference for the provincial coinage of northern Syria under Roman rule, long valued for its detailed coverage, careful organisation, and strong plate material, and widely used for attribution, comparison, and catalogue work across the principal minting centres and issues of the region. An important and highly practical study for collectors, researchers, and cataloguers working in Roman provincial numismatics, and a standard reference for this historically rich and complex area. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is 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.
