Grierson, Mays, Catalog of late Roman Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection

Philip Grierson, Melinda Mays, Catalogue of late Roman Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection, From Arcadius and Honorius to the accession of Anastasius, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, Washington DC 1992, pp. XVI, 499, richly illustrated, 37 plates, 29 cm, full cloth binding with gilt titles on the spine, front cover, and dust jacket.

A fundamental catalogue of the coinage of the late Roman Empire and the early Byzantine period, spanning the period from Arcadius and Honorius to the accession of Anastasius. This volume thoroughly examines the monetary history of the period, cataloging with great precision the collection's specimens, all illustrated and correlated with materials held in other important collections. This is the first fully illustrated catalogue published of a large collection of late Roman and early Byzantine imperial coins. While following the scholarly approach of the celebrated Byzantine volumes in the Dumbarton Oaks series, it stands out for its choice to reproduce the entire corpus of specimens rather than a representative selection.

Traces of use on the dust jacket, otherwise in very good condition.
