LEGIONARY COINAGE BIBLIOGRAPHY

NOTE: For the purpose of this bibliography, I am defining "LEGIONARY COINAGE" as any ancient Roman coin (Imperatorial, Imperial, or Provincial) that makes direct reference to a specific, identifiable Roman legion. These can range from the well known "Legionary Series" of Marcus Antonius or Septimus Severus, to coins of Roman veterans' Colonies which identify by legend or emblem, the legion(s) from which the colonists derived, to countermarks attributable to specific legions.....
