Bastien, Pierre. Le Buste Monetaire des Empereurs Romains. Vol. I-III complete. (Wetteren, 1992-1994). Numismatique Romaine: Essais, Recherches et Documents, Vol. XIX. Vol I. 327 (8) pages. Vol. II. (6) pages 341-768. Vol. III. 45 pages, 266 plates. All bound in matching red cloth, gilt. The first comprehensive work devoted to the various elements of the Roman Imperial bust on coins, from Augustus to the end of the Western Empire. An indispensable aid not only to numismatists but also to students of Roman iconography in general. A few light bumps, otherwise a very fine set.
