276 x 219mm portrait
It is almost 100 years since the coinages of Carausius and Allectus were covered by Percy Webb in Roman Imperial Coinage Volume V, Part 2. Since then Volume V of the series has been re-divided into five parts, with this brand new Part V covering these coinages during the period AD 286-296. It comes in two volumes, with a new organisation of the material reflecting our better understanding of the structures of the coinages.
Due to the enormous number of new types which have been found since 1933, the catalogue has well over 2,500 extra entries which are illustrated on 176 plates. The provision of a firmer chronology for the various issues will assist the research of numismatists, historians and archaeologists.
Furthermore, a clearer outline of the types employed, especially for Carausius, will enable more detailed study of the rich symbolism of the coinages. |

Roman Imperial Coinage II.3: From AD 117 to AD 138 - Hadrian, second revised edition, by RA Abdy with PF Mittag
Hardback, jacketed; 276x219mm; 584pp; RRP £160
Once occupying one third of the original 1926 edition of RIC Volume II, the standard reference work for Roman Imperial coinage of Hadrian (AD 117-138) is now a completely new edition in a greatly expanded single volume. It is a long overdue attempt to reconcile our present understanding of this otherwise poorly documented reign of one of the key figures in Roman history with the coin evidence. The rich symbolism of the reign is also expressed in prodigious issues of Hadrian’s medallic pieces, included in RIC for the first time. This revised 2024 version of the 2019 edition has enhanced plates and is updated with a number of new types on additional plates that have come to light in the ensuing five years.
Richard Abdy has been a curator of Roman coins at the British Museum for many years, with particular interest in the middle and later imperial periods of the Roman Empire. He has had long experience of recording Roman coin hoards through work on Treasure cases in England. At university his research led to a corpus of the coinage from the
Antonine Wall, which flagged up the need for a modern reference for the coinage of this period.
Peter Franz Mittag, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cologne, has already published a corpus of the medallions of Hadrian and presents his updated research in
English for the first time.
