A note from BCD: Mattingly's 80-page introduction to this guide is a very readable blend of history and numismatics. It should be more than adequate for the collector who decides to move his interests away from the less exciting moderncoinages. The excellent photographs are made from casts and give a good impression of what the finest Roman coins look like
