Ancient Coin Collecting Reference Books

If you collect ancient coins it would be natural that you would have a reference book.  But, just like modern coins, there are simply too many to include in a single volume.  First, you must decide which coins are of interest, ancient Roman Provincial, Ancient Roman Imperial, Ancient Greek, Ancient Chinese, ancient Celtic, or others.

And, if you collect a wide range, consider a group of books, each with a different focus.
