More About the Author

Rasiel Suarez is a specialist in ancient Roman coins. As a child he collected stamps and coins, like many other kids his age, but eventually left these collections dormant despite retaining an avid interest in history and geography. This interest eventually led to a Bachelor's in Political Science from the University of Rhode Island. During the 90's trips to Europe, and later the advent of eBay, rekindled his interest in coins. In 2002 he and his wife founded Dirty Old Coins, a company that brought the hobby to thousands of mainstream families throughout the world. In 2005 the release of The Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins (ERIC for short) was well received by fans of the series and the initial run sold out soon after. November of 2010 saw the publishing of ERIC II, the fully revised and long awaited sequel. This has been followed by the November 2011 publication of "Aorta", a new and revised low-cost version of ERIC II.

The author lives with his family in Olympia, Washington.
