Roman Coins and Their Values, Vol. 1: The Republic and the Twelve Caesars 280 BC-AD 96

by David R. Sear

The original edition of Sear's Roman Coins and Their Values was published by Seaby thirtysix years ago and has been through four revisions (1970, 1974, 1981 and 1988). However, the publication of the 'Millennium Edition' of this popular work makes a radical departure from previous editions.

These volumes are Sear's update to his 1 volume 1988 edition. Valuation is significantly updated, and the coins are more fully described. The Tetrarchy and later Roman era are well represented, especially since the folles and AE2's and AE3's are a complicated series of issues. These volumes are a must for any Roman coin collector and are just as good as any of the specialist catalogues. Also, these volumes are easier to own and use than the 11 volume Roman Imperial Coinage.
