Roman Republican Silver Coins (RRSC)
We are pleased to present the first volume of the Roman Republican Silver Coins series.
Written by Pierluigi Debernardi, Volume 1 covers the earliest silver issues of the Roman Republic, from the beginnings of Republican coinage to the end of the Second Punic War, around 200 BC. Debernardi offers a new classification of anonymous denarii, based on the die study of all Roman silver issues from a repertoire of 26,000 coins and their contextualization within hoards, many of which he has published, re-edited, or reviewed. New series are identified, and all are quantified, leading to a scientific and objective criterion for rarity. The issues are also uniquely connected to historical sources.
