Roman Imperial Coinage Volume V.4

The Gallic Empire by Jerome Mairat 

Roman Imperial Coinage Volume V.4: The Gallic Empire by Jerome Mairat 

Unlock a comprehensive record of Roman Imperial coins with the Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC), a landmark typological catalogue spanning from the decisive Battle of Actium (31 BC) to the twilight of the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity (491 AD).

This essential reference, initiated in 1923, meticulously reconstructs the entire coinage issued by each Roman emperor in chronological order. Widely recognised as the gold standard for numismatic scholars, the RIC empowers you to:

• Identify Roman Imperial coins with precision.
• Navigate the evolution of Roman coinage across centuries.
• Gain insights into the reigns of emperors through their monetary choices.

It was previously comprised of 10 volumes in 13 parts, some of which are currently being revised and will be divided differently. This brand new volume, published to celebrate the centenary of the series, covers the Gallic Empire from AD 260-274. Jerome Mairat is the Curator of Roman Coins at the Ashmolean Museum and Lecturer in Roman Numismatics at the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford. He holds the positions of Director for RPC Online and General Editor for the Roman Provincial Coinage series, having authored several volumes. His research is primarily focused on the third century coinage, both imperial and provincial.
