I was wanting to know if the BMC II Vespasian to Domitian has been updated? The edition I have is from 1966.

    A "second edition" was published in 1976, but it is basically the same book of 1930, with some corrections and additions by Robert Carson.

Thanks Curtis.

I had read somewhere that the reprint quality of the plates in a later edition were not as good as earlier ones. The 1966 edition looks fine to me.
