Not bashing Tim, only offering constructive criticism. Tim was like I was when I was young. Always trying to get the best "deal", and as a result...
I find the "redbook" series to be pretty much the same. Decent basic information, similar to the US redbook. A nice place to start. However,...
A nummi was the base denomination. AE4 lrb's are a nummi. With Anastasius' coinage reform, they made numerous denominations, but the key coin...
Maybe my favorite ancient coin I own. I got mine years ago as part of a Byzantine group lot. I recognized it immediately because I had just saw a...

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I forgive you. :) Its the internet man, most of us are wrong most of the time. "Truth" is a...
Usually called Roman Provincial or Greek Imperial. :)
Btw Tim, did you check out Frank Robinson like I recommended? Here is the latest world coin list. Its fairly old but there might be some left:...
