ROMAN. Roman Historical Coins. Clive Foss (London, Spink & Son Ltd., 1990). Hardcover, well illustrated. A useful and intelligently written guide treating Roman coin types as historical documents, linking the coinage to rulers, events, and imperial propaganda in a way that makes the subject especially approachable for collectors and researchers alike. Particularly handy for those forming historically themed collections, it provides clear context directly tied to the coins themselves and remains a practical reference for understanding the wider message behind Roman types and series. The book appears not often encountered in current online trade, with Amazon Australia showing a new copy at $1,059 and AbeBooks listing a used example, which supports its growing scarcity in the market. 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.
