ROMAN. The Dating and Arrangement of the Undated Coins of Rome A.D. 98?114. Philip V. Hill, with a foreword by C. H. V. Sutherland (London, Spink, 1970). 215 pages, with two fine collotype plates, red cloth in dust jacket, with a previous owner?s bookplate on the front pastedown. A highly regarded specialist study tackling one of the practical challenges of early Trajanic numismatics, the systematic dating and ordering of issues that are not explicitly dated, using careful analysis of legends, titulature changes, control marks, and type sequencing to reconstruct a coherent arrangement for the Rome mint coinage from A.D. 98 to 114. Valued as a working tool for serious collectors and cataloguers, it provides a clear methodological framework for placing coins into tighter chronological order than standard general catalogues typically allow, and remains an important reference point for attribution decisions, die and issue organization, and research into the development of Trajan?s early and middle reign coinage. Paper cover with light wear and shelf dust, original book cover is in great condition, overall VG from many years of use. 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.
