Roman Coins and Their Values, Volume I: The Republic and the Twelve Caesars 280 BC - AD 96 by Sear, D.R. 
Hardback with dust jacket, 532 pages, black & white illustrations 

The original edition of Sear's Roman Coins and Their Values went through four revisions (1970, 1974, 1981 and 1988), but the 'Millennium Edition' of this popular work marked a radical departure from previous editions. 

The catalogue entries were expanded to include a virtually complete listing of the entire Roman Republican series, as well as more comprehensive coverage of the much larger and more complex Imperial series. Greater emphasis is placed on the precise chronology and place of mintage of each type and extensive coverage is given to the important series of billon and bronze coins struck at Alexandria over a period of more than 300 years. 

The valuations were exhaustively researched from auction records and fixed price catalogues and prices at the time of publication (both in British pounds and US dollars) are expressed in either two or three grades of preservation for each entry, usually 'VF' and 'EF' for precious metal issues, and 'F', 'VF' and 'EF' for Imperial Bronzes.  

Expansion on this scale led to the division of the work into five volumes, providing a comprehensive work of reference for this vast and complex series.
