ROMAN COINS

Roman Coins found in Britain (inc. price guide) by Adrian Marsden

Roman coins were used in Britain for nearly 400 years and are common finds in the soil of this country. This book begins with a step-by-step guide to the identification of these fascinating objects and then discusses a range of other aspects relating to them, including a chapter on the often neglected "barbarous" imitations.
