The structure of
RIC differs from volume to volume, of which there are 10. Each volume covers a period of
history and the emperors that cover that time period and hence you can get several emperors within each volume.
Each individual emperor is given a separate section within the volume, with
RIC Id's starting at 1 and rising. So a full
RIC Id is typically structured as Volume, Emperor,
RIC Id. Typically the Volume and emperor are left off as it is often assumed that you already know this information.
For later coinage they took a different approach and listed the coinage by
Mint. Let me take an example of
RIC Volume VI, which lists the coinage for the time period by
mint and all the emperors that issued coinage from that
mint during that period. In this case the coinage from the
mint each start at 1 and consecutive
RIC Ids actually identify different
reverse types by emperor.
In order to
help you identify your coin, please post a picture to the
Identification section and the people here will
help fully identify it.
I
hope this has helped clear from of the confusion.
