<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2796455, member: 44316&quot;]I wanted to post my page of links to another thread, but I thought I should check it first for broken links because it has been months since I did. Furthermore, it moved to a new server in the meantime and moving pages usually breaks some links. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/sitelinks.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/sitelinks.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/sitelinks.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Until I spent most of today fixing them, about one-third the links were broken. It is interesting how frequently web sites change servers or at least URLs. I bet if you find another site with lots of ancient-coin links (there are many), many of the links will be broken. </p><p><br /></p><p>About half of the bad links I found at a different URL using a google search for the content. I was able to fix the link for those. About half I did not find with a google search; they seem to be gone. Some of those were very good pages that took a lot of effort to create, including one on coins with ancient architecture (formerly at <a href="http://www.sesterzio.eu/rovesci/rovesci.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sesterzio.eu/rovesci/rovesci.htm" rel="nofollow">www.sesterzio.eu/rovesci/rovesci.htm</a>) and one of Coins of Ancient Athens (formerly at <a href="http://www.coinsofancientathens.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsofancientathens.com/" rel="nofollow">www.coinsofancientathens.com/</a>) and one with images of fakes of of Sasanian-style coins of the Huns (formerly at <a href="http://www.grifterrec.com/y/gobl_8-9_comp.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.grifterrec.com/y/gobl_8-9_comp.jpg" rel="nofollow">www.grifterrec.com/y/gobl_8-9_comp.jpg</a>).&nbsp; Maybe they are still on the web somewhere. If you know where, let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a huge number of ancient-coin sites. (By the way, note how many are created by collectors, including some by scholars who collect, and how few are created by scholars who don&#039;t collect. Don&#039;t let anyone tell you collecting is bad for knowledge.) I have no intention of listing all the relevant sites (a virtual impossibility, anyway). I wanted to list sites of interest and importance to beginners, plus some others that go deeply into particular cities, emperors, or theme collections. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you find any broken links, let me know. If you have a favorite site with links, let us all know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
