Sear D., Roman Coins and Their Values Volume II – The Accession of Nerva to the Overthrow of the Severan Dynasty AD96 – 235. Spink reprinted, London 2010. The current revision of this popular work marks a radical departure from the envisaged aims of the previous editions. In this second volume the catalogue entries have been greatly expanded to provide more comprehensive coverage of the vast and complex imperial series of the second and early third centuries AD. Greater emphasis is now placed on the precise chronology and place of mintage of each type and special attention is paid to the important series of billon and bronze coins struck at the Egyptian capital of Alexandria. The valuations have been exhaustively researched from recent auction records and fixed price catalogues and many professional numismatists have contributed their valuable opinions on specific series. Hardcover with jacket, 696pp.,b/w illustrations. NEW
