Millennium Edition (in four volumes)
by David R. Sear
Volume III: The Third Century Crisis and Recovery
The third volume of the fully revised and expanded general catalogue of Roman coins extends coverage of the Imperial series from the accession of Maximinus I in AD 235 down to the assassination of Carinus and the accession of Diocletian half a century later. The introductory articles are again included in this volume and, as with Volumes I and II, the Imperial biographies have been entirely rewritten and enlarged. There has been a major expansion of the catalogue listings and special emphasis has been placed on the place of mintage and precise date of issue of each catalogue entry, making this book a far more valuable source of information than previous editions (or any other general work on the subject). The fourth volume, covering the coinage of the Tetrarchies and the House of Constantine (AD 284-364), will be released in the fall of 2009. The fifth and final volume, covering the Dynasties of Valentinian and Theodosius and their successors (AD 364-491), will follow in the fall of 2010.
Copies of the first, second and third volume are now available for ordering. Volume IV is in preparation.
