ROMAN. Greek Imperial Countermarks: Studies in the Provincial Coinage of the Roman Empire. C. J. Howgego (London, Royal Numismatic Society, 1985). RNS Special Publication No. 17, 317 pages with 33 plates illustrating countermarked coins. A standard and highly important reference on Greek imperial countermarks, bringing structure and clarity to one of the more difficult areas of Roman provincial numismatics by cataloguing and interpreting the countermarking practices applied to provincial issues across the empire. Especially valuable for attribution, identification, and comparative study, it remains a fundamental working tool for collectors, dealers, and researchers handling countermarked provincial coinage. 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.
