Henry Clay LindgrenThe Lindgren Collection of Roman Provincial Coins is published in three volumes. Not part of the SNG series, the descriptions are spartan, it is a general work, and it publishes only single collection; but the three Lindgren books cover so many types and are so useful that Lindgren has become a standard reference. All of the volumes have excellent indexing and coins are easy to find quickly. At present they are among the best, affordable, catalogues of Roman provincial coins in the areas covered. Some areas have been surpassed since more recent publications have been issued (e.g. Marcianopolis – which is actually quite light in these volumes) but there are few other publications which give so much detail over such a wide area. Lindgren I The book is softbound and is reasonably well put together though my copy has one of the last pages coming loose. It is not quite A4 format being about an inch short. Again I am not a fan of having all the descriptions at the start with all the plates at the end.
