RIC Editions, Reprints et cetera

Aethelred

"The Roman Imperial Coinage" is a confusing mess of reprints and editions at best.

I specialize in coins of Augustus to Domitian so I own the 1984 Revised Vol. 1 and the 2007 Revised Vol. 2.1.

However, I am interested in and collect (though to a far lesser degree) Roman coins after Domitian. Of particular interest to me are the coins of the Gallic Empire of Postumus and the coins of Roman Britain on the early Fourth Century.

So my question is this:

What volumes in the set do you own? Which edition/reprint are they? And for the volumes that have never been revised (2.2, 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6, 7 and 9) which reprints are the best in your opinion?

If you were inclined to post photos of what you have that would rock too!

Why do you want photos of rocks?

Hi Michael, what's happening?

I'm just thinking about dusty old books, you?

I own none of the series, sadly. If anyone has duplicates they would like to sell for cheap, keep me in mind.

+1. I was not aware these were online. I poked around the Archives.org site a bit and found some other interesting, esoteric titles also available. Very useful link Joe, thanks.
