ROMAN. The Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC), Volume I: 31 B.C. to A.D. 69. C. H. V. Sutherland, revised edition (London, Spink, 1984). 304 pages with 32 fine plates. The standard reference for the coinage from Augustus through the Julio-Claudian period to A.D. 69, and the preferred first printing of this revised edition, valued for the superior collotype plates compared with later impressions. A fundamental working volume for Roman imperial numismatics, long relied upon for attribution, chronology, and catalogue work across the opening phase of the imperial series. 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.
