Potator II:
That's exactly what every specialized collector should do in their domain (I've done that for the Dombes coinage, but who cares  :'(  ;D)

Good job David

I know how you feel! Not too many people get excited about a biography on Josephus ... which is a shame, considering there is so much there for Roman and classical enthusiasts to enjoy.

I recently received Ian Carradice's Coinage and Finances in the Reign of Domitian and added it to the above list.

This book is a wonderful resource not just for the reign of Domitian but also for Flavian era coinage in general. It is footnoted quite often in the new RIC and after reading it I can see why. Mint operations are covered, as well as coinage output, hoards, types, ect. Denarii in particular are given the spotlight. IMHO, Essential.

A side note: this book is extremely rare, if you can't find it online for sale, most major universities have it. Please check it out.

Recently I have added Flavian Rome by A.J. Boyle and W.J. Dominik to my library. The book consists of various essays about the Flavian era by many leading classical scholars and is essential reading for understanding the period.

The book is huge and quite expensive, but well worth tracking down.
