<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24686986, member: 26430&quot;]Interesting group of Provincials from a nice range of mints! Are those your hand-written tags? Or are they from the previous collector? (Do you know whose collection they are from?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, one of my favorite things about collecting Provincials is the literature. I consider my coins and books to be the same collection, and Provincials are an area particularly rich in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is great research available online, such as <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search" rel="nofollow">RPC Online</a> or the lesser-known ISEGRIM (see below).</p><p><br /></p><p>And many great books about Roman Provincials. One nice general introduction is Kevin Butcher’s (1988) <i>Roman Provincial Coins: An Introduction to the Greek Imperials</i>, if you can find a cheap copy. Slim volume, but packed with valuable information.</p><p><br /></p><p>And many useful published collections. One of the most widely referenced is Henry Clay Lindgren’s (1914-2005) three volume series (1985, 1989, 1993). (See the <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=lindgren" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=lindgren" rel="nofollow">excellent &amp; detailed Numiswiki entry</a>.) It can take some patience to complete the set, but it&#039;s worth it if you enjoy numis lit for its own sake.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>MY LINDGREN COLLAGE OF ROMAN PROVINCIAL COINS &amp; LITERATURE</b></p><p><i>(I might post this again separately -- just added some new stuff.)</i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575119[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Three books (one signed) + several of my “plate coins” from those volumes (ex-Lindgren Collection).</p><p>Plus related sale catalogs: Malloy XIII (ex-BCD Library Duplicates), where Lindgren <i>purchased</i> some of my coins; catalogs from Antioch Associates (ex-RBW Library), where Lindgren <i>sold </i>several of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>(That’s what I mean when I say sometimes the coins are part of the literature collection!)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>ISEGRIM:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>ISEGRIM is a great resource for the Provincials of Asia Minor. (Not a substitute for RPC Online, but a great supplement, and has some types RPC doesn&#039;t include.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Many (like me) find it to be an essential resource for Provincials. It&#039;s <b><i>text-only</i></b>, though, so some don&#039;t find it helpful. You have to get used to the interface &amp; how to search.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually use these URLs:</p><p><a href="http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim_neu/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim_neu/" rel="nofollow">http://isegrim.dasr.de/isegrim_neu/</a></p><p><a href="http://gcam.hhu.de/index.php?page_id=20" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gcam.hhu.de/index.php?page_id=20" rel="nofollow">http://gcam.hhu.de/index.php?page_id=20</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also a downloadable Excel file from Wildwinds. Helvetica / Dane Kurth has continued to add many more coins to the database, and other improvements.
