ROMAN. Roman Coins from the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire. Harold Mattingly (London, Methuen, 1967 reprint of the 1928 original). 300 pages with 64 plates, black cloth with dust jacket. A solid and well written survey of Roman Republican and Imperial coinage by one of the leading scholars behind both the British Museum catalogues and the RIC tradition, offering a clear and readable account of how coinage fits within the wider course of Roman history. Still very useful as an intermediate reference, it serves as an excellent bridge between a basic introduction and the larger specialist corpora, with the added authority of Mattingly?s long experience in the field. 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.
