The catalogue takes the form of a brief discussion for each city of attribution, dating, denomination, typology and interpretation, followed by a listing of the issues. The material is presented on a geographical basis, from Spain and Africa in the west to Syria and Egypt in the east. Volume I covers the hundred years from the death of Julius Caesar in 44 b c to that of the emperor Vitellius in a d 69, and examines the coinage of more than 400 cities throughout the Roman empire. The book aims to give a complete picture of this material and will thus not only meet the needs of numismatists but will also be an essential reference book for historians, epigraphists, archaeologists and other students of the Roman empire. It presents for the first time an authoritative account of the coins minted in the provinces of the empire and shows how they can be regarded as an integral part of the coinage minted under the Roman emperors. ROMAN PROVINCIAL COINAGE VOLUME This book embodies a new conception of Roman coinage.
