ROMAN. Roman Imperial Coins in the Hunter Coin Cabinet, University of Glasgow, Volumes I?V. Anne S. Robertson (Oxford, 1962?1982). Complete five-volume set in publisher?s cloth, approximately 16 ? 26 cm, comprising 1,857 pages plus indices and 432 plates, covering the full imperial sequence from Augustus to Zeno: Vol. I, Augustus to Nerva; Vol. II, Trajan to Commodus; Vol. III, Pertinax to Aemilian; Vol. IV, Valerian I to Allectus; and Vol. V, Diocletian (reform) to Zeno. A carefully compiled institutional catalogue of one of the major university collections, with systematic cross references to Cohen, RIC, and BMCRE, and useful reign by reign discussions placing the Hunter material within a broader typological framework. It is genuinely rare to encounter all five volumes together as a complete set, especially in such sound working condition, and this set was kept for decades in the collector?s own library, used closely in the study of his personal collection and throughout his career as a numismatist. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; no dust jackets, with the usual ex-library markings including defaced bookplates and some rubbing and edge wear; overall the set 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.
