Do you have any coins on Wildwinds?

I have never even looked to see what coins were posted off my site. There's quite a few and it's really nice to be recognized this way. Thanks Dane!

Here's an interesting one: a tessera of Augustus with the numeral II on reverse.

Oh, and here is another Wildwinds example (another sweet coin that I scored off of my good friend, Batman)

Maximinus-II

 

Fabulous Steve. I am a huge fan of all things follis. So far, although I have some nice examples, they are nearly all the usual GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI

 

I went ahead and submitted 12 RR coins to WildWinds that were previously missing and Dane has already added them. I've got a few more that I need to add once I get better pictures or once they come in but here are a few highlights from the newly-submitted coins:

One of the features on Wildwinds that I really liked was the link to a database program that helped identify Greek/Provincial types through inputting the various letters on the coin that were visible. Unfortunately I believe the person who wrote and owned the program passed away unexpectedly and for some reason the program was no longer available. I had found another one like it online some years back but my computer crashed and I lost the link. Does anyone know of another similar program that is available?

 

I have one I'm aware of


Vitellius, Denarius - 011 Rome mint, July - December 20, AD69
A VITELLIVS GERMAN IMP TR P, Laureate head of Vitellius right
XV VIR SACR FAC, Tripod-lebes with dolphin lying right on top and raven standing right below
3.43 gr, 16-18 mm
Ref : RCV # 2201var, Cohen cf # 110 et suiv, RIC I # 86 (this example illustrated in Wildwinds)

Q

 

LOL, hmmm... How about a very scarce version NOT listed in the Wildwinds Database...
