Height of the Second Punic War and the Earliest Denarii, circa 218 B.C.-206 B.C.
76 photos
This album covers most of the Second Punic War, including the earliest denarius system coins, the quadrigati, weight reductions of the bronze, and the many experiments that ultimately lead to the standardization that shook out by the end of the war. This is a period of great change in the Roman economy and in Rome's sphere of influence. The fielding of numerous armies across multiple warfronts required significant coinage in bronze, silver and gold issued by a number of mints.

The Conquests of Macedonia, Spain, Carthage and Greece and the lead-up to the Social War, 206 B.C.-92 B.C.

This album covers the post-Second Punic War period where Rome, in her new position of influence, found herself in conflict with many regional neighbors. With the denominations largely set and the numerous mints of the Second Punic War replaced largely by the main Rome mint, some call this period boring. While it is true that 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 an expansion of variety setting the stage for an explosion of personalization after the Social War.

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
46 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.
