Height of the Second Punic War and the Earliest Denarii, circa 218 B.C.-206 B.C.
66 photos
This album covers much of the Second Punic War, including the earliest denarius system coins, the quadrigatus coinage, the weight reductions of the bronze, and ultimately the standardization that shook out by the end of the war and the many experiments to Romans did along the way. This is a period of great change in the Roman economy and overall in Rome's sphere of influence and the fielding of numerous massive armies across multiple simultaneous warfronts required significant amounts of coinage in bronze, silver and gold issued by a number of mints. At some point I may break this album up but I think it striking to look at the period as a whole and how Rome's relationship with the institution of coinage changed from the earliest days of the war through its conclusion.

The Conquests of Macedonia, Spain, Carthage and Greece and the lead-up to the Social War, 206 B.C.-92 B.C.
43 photos
This album covers the post-Second Punic War period where Rome, in her new position of influence, found herself in conflict with many neighbors around the Mediterranean. With the denominations largely set and the numerous mints of the Second Punic War rolling up into the main Rome mint with only sporadic minting in the field, some call this period boring. While it is true that for a few decades, much about the coinage is set in stone and formulaic, some moneyers begin experimenting with more personal designs and it is during this period that we see variety dramatically expand such that by the Social War, the set designs of a century earlier are no more and we see a great variety of customized, personal designs.

Greek Coins

I'm a big fan of classical Greek coins. I don't really have the money to collect them the way I do Roman Republic, but I plan to put together a small collection of the classic types

Provenance
42 photos
This is my attempt at providing scans of old catalogs, tags, etc. to verify provenance of those coins with a listed provenance that is not easily verifiable online so that I can add links in the descriptions of those coins. The absence of info here does not indicate an absence of provenance, in fact, in many cases I simply haven't had time to scan it in.

Sometimes I sell off coins. The coins here are no longer in my collection or are on their way out(i.e. for sale somewhere) but shown here for informational purposes.
