ROMAN. The Cistophori of Augustus. C. H. V. Sutherland (London, Royal Numismatic Society, 1970). RNS Special Publication No. 5, 132 pages with 36 fine plates, red cloth with dust jacket. A compact but important specialist study of the Augustan cistophori, clearly laying out the series in a form that remains highly practical for attribution and close comparison, with excellent plates that make the checking of types, varieties, and related issues straightforward at the desk. A useful and well regarded reference for collectors and researchers working on the coinage of Augustus and the provincial silver of Asia Minor. 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.
