[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3038920, member: 56859"]What an interesting discussion! It seems that "type set" is as difficult to define as any other ancient "set". That makes it easier, in a way-- just define the set however you wish :) This has been discussed on FAC and some of you might find the "denominations" page interesting. Until you scroll past the initial section for Roman Imperial, you might mistakenly think it is easily doable :D. Here's that page: [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Denomination[/url] Be sure to scroll all the way down. Imagine trying to assemble a Greek denomination type set-- tough when we don't even really know how to define some of the denominations. Could be fun though, definitely a lifelong task. Also on that same page there are links to discussion about what constitutes a type set, or rather various niche type sets, in ancient coin collecting. The discussion was just for Roman coins.
