Numismatic Literature: #1 Book for Beginners? (Roman Imperial)
Alegandron replied to jfp7375's topic in Numismatic Literature
I actually took several courses at Indiana University back in the 70's from Dr. J Rufus Fears. He was later known by Great Courses. He was Professor of the Year at IU 4 different times, and went on to become History Chair at University of OK, where he was Professor of the Year several more times. He was awesome in the 5 or 6 Ancient History courses that I took with him. Really had a passion and brought it all to life. Unfortunately he passed a few years ago.
