Roman Imperial Coinage II.3: From AD 117 to AD 138 - Hadrian, second revised edition, by RA Abdy with PF Mittag
Hardback, jacketed; 276x219mm; 584pp; RRP £160
Once occupying one third of the original 1926 edition of RIC Volume II, the standard reference work for Roman Imperial coinage of Hadrian (AD 117-138) is now a completely new edition in a greatly expanded single volume. It is a long overdue attempt to reconcile our present understanding of this otherwise poorly documented reign of one of the key figures in Roman history with the coin evidence. The rich symbolism of the reign is also expressed in prodigious issues of Hadrian’s medallic pieces, included in RIC for the first time. This revised 2024 version of the 2019 edition has enhanced plates and is updated with a number of new types on additional plates that have come to light in the ensuing five years.
Richard Abdy has been a curator of Roman coins at the British Museum for many years, with particular interest in the middle and later imperial periods of the Roman Empire. He has had long experience of recording Roman coin hoards through work on Treasure cases in England. At university his research led to a corpus of the coinage from the
Antonine Wall, which flagged up the need for a modern reference for the coinage of this period.
Peter Franz Mittag, Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cologne, has already published a corpus of the medallions of Hadrian and presents his updated research in
English for the first time.

This tenth volume of Roman Imperial Coinage completed the first edition of the series founded by Mattingly and Sydenham in 1923. Its layout is based on the division between the eastern and western parts of the empire, and the reigns of successive emperors. A further section deals with imitative coinages struck by certain of the barbarian peoples. There are detailed accounts of the monetary system and mints, and of the coin-types and legends. The catalogue comprises some 3,819 entries, each individually numbered, and illustrated by 80 plates.
The coinage is discussed not only in its historical setting, but also in a comprehensive and documented conceptual context, making RIC X essential reading for students of the late Roman and Byzantine period, as well as for collectors. This seminal volume is reprinted by Spink in 2018 to make it available again to all those interested in this fascinating period of Roman Imperial coinage.
Dr John Kent joined the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum in 1953, and was Keeper from 1983 until his retirement in 1990. As well as being an editor of the Roman Imperial Coinage series , he is the author of Roman Imperial Coinage Volume VIII (1981). The standard reference work on Roman Imperial Coinage during the period of the divided Empire and the fall of the Western parts.

Sutherland’s revised Volume I has been out of print now for some years, but his study of the Julio-Claudian coinage, being the formative period of the long imperial series, is made newly available by Spink in this handsome reprint. The standard reference work for Roman Imperial coinage from Augustus to Vitellius.
