<p>[QUOTE=&quot;A.J., post: 1339641, member: 35316&quot;]I appreciate it.&nbsp; I&#039;m just not building my collection or personal library at the moment, so free resources are my preference.&nbsp; The reason I ask for all this information is that I am planning to write an article about the coin, and I&#039;m starting from scratch.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is just so much I don&#039;t know and I don&#039;t know where to start. For instance, how do we know these silver pieces were even called denarii?&nbsp; Are there any ancient literary references?&nbsp; I&#039;ve also heard of the office of Roman moneyer, one of the <i>viri monetales</i>, who issued the Republican currency.&nbsp; How do we know about that office, is there a direct source?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll see about finding Sear&#039;s at a public library, because it certainly doesn&#039;t seem like something I can afford not to look at.&nbsp; But what I meant earlier is that my goal here is academic, not related to my personal collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
