The Roman Republic to 49 BCE (Guides to the Coinage of the Ancient World)

Great price, very good information for collecting coins. Would buy from this seller again.

Thorough review, by a leading authority.

Very interesting for history lovers. Coins represent a reliable and documented element in history and they are beautiful to watch

The author has given us a clear, concise, up-to-date, and accessible review to the subject, copiously illustrated (with high-quality coin images presented often to scale, and often in color). Dr. Yarrow finds a good balance here between generalization and specificity in presenting the material - the book is neither a fluff survey, nor a terribly heavy lift for the non-specialist. Serious scholarship is rarely made this approachable - this book would make an excellent learning text for undergraduates, or could even serve as a quick introduction in a graduate seminar. Just a small note that the weight given for the sestertius in Figure 1.35 (RRC 340/3a, 3.99 grams) cannot be correct, and appears to have been erroneously pulled down from the denarius in the preceding figure.

It is so well written it can also be used as a textbook. Many illustrations, charts, and maps clarify the text.

Exceptionally well written and addresses a number of interesting topics. Beautiful pictures too.
