Essential Reference for Roman Coin Collectors

As the first attempt to accumulate and systematically describe coins issued in the names of Roman empresses, this work fills a significant gap in numismatic literature. The catalog serves as a foundational reference for understanding empress coinage during the Severan dynasty and the subsequent period of military emperors. Collectors focusing on Imperial Rome, women in Roman history, or third-century coinage will find this volume indispensable for their research and collection development. Authored by S.A. Temeryazev and T.P. Makarenko, this paperback reference guide represents years of research and documentation, making accessible a field of Roman numismatics that previously lacked comprehensive treatment. The catalog's systematic approach to classification and its complete visual documentation establish it as the standard reference for Roman empress coinage from 193-260 AD.
