London, 1995. 208 pages, 95 illustrations. Card covers. A great variety of designs, referred to as 'types' are to be found on Roman silver denarii, because responsibility for minting coinage throughout the period of the Roman Republic was assigned to individual moneyers who were magistrates or officials appointed by the Senate, many of whom are, in fact, only known from their coins. The coin designs are often quite difficult for us to interpret, although their allusions were obvious to the Roman of the time. Often the reference is to the feats or law-giving of a long dead or even legendary ancestor of the moneyer. The author has selected a group of 30 moneyers from the best documented years of the Roman Republic and describes the moneyer's career, social, political and family history, and his part in the events of the time. This throws a fascinating light on the events which led to the decline and fall of the Republic.  ONE OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL SERIES AMONG COLLECTORS OF ANCIENT COINS.
