ROMAN. Le Monnayage de l?Atelier de Lyon, de la r?ouverture de l?atelier par Aur?lien ? la mort de Carin (fin 274-mi 285). Pierre Bastien (Numismatique Romaine, Essais, Recherches et Documents IX, Wetteren, Belgique, Editions Numismatique Romaine, 1976). A specialist mint study of the Lyon atelier across the decisive years of the late third century, treating the coinage systematically and providing a solid working framework for attribution, sequencing, and historical context from the reopening of the mint under Aurelian through to the death of Carinus. An important and practical reference for the Aurelianic and post Aurelian bronze series, and a useful desk tool for anyone working closely on the complex output of Lyon in this period. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition, internally clean and sound. 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.
