Suarez, Rasiel. ERIC II - THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ROMAN IMPERIAL COINS. Dirty Old Books, Tumwater. 2010. Large 4to. xx, 1455, (3) pages. original pictorial boards, jacket. Signed by the author. Limited edition #1300 of 3000.Color photos throughout. English text. The David Baker Library. Fine. The release of ERIC II follows five years of intensive work in going well beyond the scope of the first edition. Where 2005's ERIC provided a solid introduction into the field of Roman coinage this follow up aims for a much higher ambition with a fully comprehensive catalog of even the most obscure issues while maintaining the user-friendly format of the original. Also retained and significantly enhanced is the use of high-resolution color photography from cover to cover. The plates for each ruler have been upgraded with better and more photos with the rest of each section making rich use of color elsewhere. The listings are now more informative and are internally referenced with pertinent ancillary data. A significant improvement has been made in extending the catalog over the entire Byzantine series thus covering the complete span of coinage from the days of Augustus through the downfall of Constantine XI some 1,500 years later. Lot weight: 9 lbs 4oz. Subject(s): Ancient Roman Coinage.
