Front Cover:

Collectors Roman Coins is a first edition published in 2000 and available here. Published by Rotographic of Torquay, UK.

If you already have a collection of Roman base metal coins, or have an interest in them, this book will shed a lot of light on exactly what coins you have and porovide approximate market valuations based on recent dealers selling prices and auction results. 

'Collectors Roman Coins' contains current British market values for all Roman non Gold or Silver coins used in the Republic, Imperial Empire and breakaway usurper Empires, as well as the later divided East and West Empires. It is worth pointing out that because it is a British book and the values are from British dealers, that some British related Roman coins may be priced higher in this book than elsewhere on the international market.

With market values listed by type, known varieties listed or shown, it really is the best value paperback on Roman base metal Coins. 

It's a small A5 book (20 x 14.5cm) and is especially handy to take to shops, coin meetings, boot sales or other places where it isn't practical to take a giant heavy book. 

The book is written by Richard Plant (not the legendary 70's Rocker from Led Zeppellin, that was Robert Plant!), and in keeping with all the Rotographic titles which I have grown quite fond of, it provides plenty of valuations and information to help you catalogue your collection or just to make interesting reading. 

I would recommend a basic knowledge is gained on the terms and phrases used in the world of Roman coinage before reading as it may be quite confusing for a complete beginner. Part of the introduction reads like this:

'This is a book for the collector rather than the scholar and, as such, needs to be pocket-sized and inexpensive. I have assumed that the reader will be more interested in assigning a coin to its proper period or Emperor rather than in working out the meaning of the design on the reverse and, therefore, whilst most of the usual obverse portraits and legends are illustrated, the reverses are dealt with in a much more cursory manor. Further, NOT ALL Roman base metal coins are included. This is a selection of the available material, hopefully including the vast majority of the coins the collector is likely to encounter in real life.'
