Hardback with dust jacket, 552 pages, black & white illustrations This fourth volume contains a comprehensive listing of the Roman coinage of the period AD 284-337 together with background information on the history of each reign and the principal characteristic of its coinage. The catalogue is organised primarily by ruler with the issues then subdivided by denomination and by reverse legend and type. This arrangement combines the alphabetical ease of reference of Cohen's work with the scholarship of RIC and other modern studies which are based on classification by mint.

An eagerly anticipated addition to the series, and a valuable reference for any collector of this period.
