This page was inspired by the common practice, when giving references for coins – especially in The Roman Imperial Coinage – of stating the work and a number, but not which volume and sometimes missing other essential details. For example, wives are usually listed and numbered under the name of their husband, and this list will state who that is.

I have attempted to include all personages in the period of the Empire who had coins struck in their name. The reference works also list a few restorations of Republican coins which are not indexed here. I can 't guarantee that I have not missed anything out!

Two main references are covered here. One is David Sear 's "Roman Coins And Their Values," abbreviated as RCV. This is a general reference of great value to beginners and those who enjoy Roman coins but do not specialise in any particular area. There is an early version in one volume, of which the latest revision was dated 1988; this is relatively superficial and I will only note it for coins not covered in the Millennium Edition, which has three volumes to date with (at least?) one more to come. So the references will either be for the 4th Revised Edition, dated 1988; or parts of the Millennium Edition, dated 2000, 2002 and 2005.

The other reference covered here is "The Roman Imperial Coinage," abbreviated to RIC. It is not the most detailed or the most specialised reference, but it is the standard reference of choice for almost all purposes. The aim of RIC is to include all known Imperial coins, whereas RCV includes only a good representative sample. There are ten volumes in the series, some of them in several parts, and some have been revised and reprinted since their first appearance. I will give the most recent reference, and I will refer to the volumes by their number and, where relevant, part number, as: V, 1.

In vols I to V and X, the number series starts afresh for each emperor. In vols VI to IX, each mint has its own number sequence which includes everyone who had coins struck in their name at that mint.

Volume I: Reference is to the second edition, dated 1984, not the first edition dated 1923. Any numbered coin references you find can be expected to refer to this edition.

Volume II is a special case. As of February 2008, there is a new and completely revised version of part of vol II, with new numbering for all the Flavian coins, which I will refer to as RIC II 2007. People still covered by the older version will just be listed as RIC II. A new print of the second part of vol II is due out later this year; when that happens I will update the references to RIC II 2008. I expect the numbering system for this part to stay the same. Because the new edition has just come out, many references you find will still be to the older one.

Vol IV is in three parts, but for some reason, the most recent print of these combines them into one physical binding.

Vol V is in two parts, printed as two separate volumes.


This table was prepared by Bill Welch, who is solely responsible for any errors and typos. The original version, with better formatting and which may have extra corrections, can be found in his web site "What I Like About Ancient Coins", which is generously hosted by Forum Ancient Coins. It was a thread in Forum 's Classical Numismatics Discussion Board about references to RIC which inspired the preparation of the table.
