Catalogs

Hello, most of the major books (RIC etc) are still under copyright and therefore illegal to download if they have been converted into PDF. Thats not to say they dont exist but you wont find them on any 'reputable' sites.

There are some though that have become available either due to their age or under a Creative Commons license.

ERIC is a good example - it may not cover the whole of the area you are looking for in as much detail as you want but its description is:

"...all imperial rulers from the time of Augustus through the downfall of Rome as well as an introduction into the Byzantine corpus."

Find a downloadable version here:

An expanded version is also available but only in book form.

Forum ancient coins also has a section for legally distributed E-books and papers but I've not used it so cant vouch for the quality of them. Find it here:

Thanks for info but I need something different. For period after 1600 I use Krause catalogs and they work fine for me but I need something similar for period before 1600.
