The Typenatlas der romischenReichspragung von Augustus
bisAemilianus systematically presents and discusses the iconography
of the reverses of Roman imperial coins as contemporary official
primary sources. While the first volume, published in 2002, deals
with the reverse types depicting female figures, volume II presents
geographical personifications and male figures. The third volume
will include reverses not featuring humanlike figures and group
scenes as well as an index. Each reverse type is illustrated and
carefully described, and cross references to the relevant handbooks
are provided. Special attention has been paid to the chronology,
and the plates include time-lines. Thus, the volume not only points
out connections between the different types, but also gives an
insight into the chronological development of the typological
inventory used by the Roman mint. In this way, the book is a most
important tool for numismatists and, at the same time, provides
information unavailable elsewhere for everyone interested in
classical studies in a broader sense.
