echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 5:46 pm I have several books I use on a regular bases, Sears books on Greek and Byzantine Coins, Wayne Sayles series of books as a general reference on all type of coins. ERIC II which I find to be an excellent reference, if your like me and can't afford to buy the RIC series. David Van Meters Handbook of Roman Imperial Coins. Dictornary of Roman Coins along with a number of rare and out of print books. My oldest reference book on Roman Coins dates back to 1692. I also use everything that is available on the net.

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 6:52 pm I really like ERIC, The Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins by Rasiel Suarez. It is my "go to" reference. Everything I have read about the second edition, ERIC II, is that it is much improved. The book is about $140-150. ERIC II has been on my wish list at Amazon since it came out.

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:29 pm I posted a review of ERIC II before it came out based on the galley proofs that Raisel sent me for the purpose. I have never seen an actual book (the galley proofs are the pages but no binding). I did not buy a book but that does not mean you shouldn't. I am not interested in catalog numbers and already own RIC so the $150 did not strike me as a necessary expense. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/bo...opic=65466.0 Report this Post to the Staff
