Maurice, Jules. Numismatique Constantinienne: Iconographie et Chronologie, Description Historique des Émissions Monétaires. (Paris, 1908-1912 originals). Three Volumes. clxxix, 507 pages, 23 plates; cxxxvi, 612 pages, 17 plates; xlviii, 286 pages, 11 plates. Quarter red leather with red marbled boards, gilt lettering, marbled end pages. This was the standard reference until the publication of RIC VI and VII. Very rare original editions, the Forni reprints, when found, sell for $4-500. The edges and corners of this set show some rubbing as to be expected, internally the pages are still soft and the plates are very nice. Overall a fine set.
