ROMAN. The Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC), Volume VII: Constantine I and Licinius, A.D. 313?337. P. M. Bruun, with C. H. V. Sutherland and R. A. G. Carson as editors (1972 reprint of the 1966 edition). Hardcover in green cloth, xxxi, 778 pages plus 24 plates. The standard worldwide reference for the coinage of Constantine I and Licinius, presenting the imperial issues classified by mint and chronology, and providing the structural framework used by collectors, scholars, and auction cataloguers for attribution and catalogue work across this complex period of monetary reform, multiple mints, and rapidly changing imperial titulature and reverse programs. The volume opens with a substantial general introduction explaining the mint system, monetary structure, typology, and the arrangement of the reigns, and is supported by practical indexes of types, legends, and related finding aids that make it far more functional for research than older legend-first systems, allowing coins to be located and understood within their proper mint and issue context. Paper cover with light wear and shelf dust, top and sides slightly browned, 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.
