List Of Roman Coins?

Yeah, theres a lot of them. Half of the coins issued were commemorating specific events - HAdrian issued a whole series whilst travelling around the empire - denarii of each region (AFRICA, AEGYPTOS etc), sestertii of him addressing his legions there, all sorts.

Heres one of my favourite, which recently had an example on ebay, a Hadrian Sestertius commemorating the burning of debt records (supposedly writing off about 9 million sesterces of debt):

There is no list for it would be excessively long. You can find this stuff out by reading around, or if you let us know what kind of stuff you're interested in, we might be able to suggest a series.

If filling out a collection is what you're looking for you could start keeping track of dynasties. If you're buying unidentified coins you likely have most of the Constantinian dynasty already. Then you could work back depending on what interests you and what you already have through the Severan, Nervaâ€"Antonine, Flavian, and Julio-Claudian dynasties. That'd keep you busy for quite a while.

You can try to go through wiki pages (plenty good information there), but here a website which might be helpful http://www.luc.edu/roman-emperors/

There are plenty works on Roman history including some detailed elements of it. What would now be required from a thesis for a university degree would be far too specific for the general reader.
If you want to read through an account of it, you could start with Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" which was a milestone work and even though it is outdated and contains quite some inaccuracies is still very much beloved in the Anglo-Saxon world. You could probably pick up a copy in a decent second hand bookshop for a few bucks. For the republican period you could read another groundbreaking work, namely Mommsen's "A History of Rome" - Mommsen also created the basis for the scientific study of Roman numismatics with several works on Roman coinage.

But if you are looking for something shorter and more coin orientated, there is a series on "Ancient Coin Collecting" by W.G.Sayles issued by Krause - volume III for Roman conage and volume IV for Roman provincial coinage.
More detailed (especially on history) is D.L.Vagi's "Coinage and History of the Roman Empire".

Pretty sure others can add to that list, there are massive amounts around.

D.L.Vagi's "Coinage and History of the Roman Empire" set of two books is not great on the actual coins (really just an overview) but is very good at giving you a potted history of the Empire(s). What's interesting is that they are so heavy (?) They must be printed on the most dense paper available.

Look at the coins on TIFs site, some of the coins have stories, and there are stories on the http://www.colosseocollection.com/p...1DE#hf2181de site also. If I win the lottery I am going to get one of those coins found buried at Pompeii.

Coins from Pompeii are very numerous, but closely guarded. Heres an interesting piece about the date of the eruption compared to the coinage found in the ash.

A set I was going to go after was the Five Good Emperors (hopefully in Silver) because of the period they represent but the price got me. I have got a copy of Marcus Aurelius' texts somewhere.

Also, TIF has an EID MAR?
