Volume I covered a period of approximately 375 years,
from the origins of the Roman coinage in the Republican
period in the opening decades of the 3rd century BC down
to the violent end of the second Imperial dynasty, the
Flavian, in AD 96.

Volume II extended coverage of the Imperial series from
the accession of Nerva down to the overthrow of the
Severan dynasty in 235.

This third volume continues the comprehensive revision and
covers in detail the following half century, a very different
period during which the Empire came perilously close to
total disintegration under the pressure of foreign invasions
and seemingly interminable civil war. The economy also
collapsed and with it the Imperial coinage, a desperate situation
which was only partially alleviated by the currency reform of
Aurelian undertaken late in his reign.

The complexities of the mint attributions in this chaotic period
- lacking as they do in almost every instance the name or initial
of the responsible mint - have been dealt with in light of recent
scholarship. Also included are detailed listings of the Antoninianus
coinage not covered in the “Roman Silver Coins” series.
