<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4023006, member: 44316"]If you collect Roman Imperial coins one way to organize them is to use Sear's numbering in his five volumes. For each emperor he lists coins by denomination, largest to smallest, and within denomination they are alphabetical. The vast majority of imperial coins you will come across, or something virtually the same, are in there. (I admit, for example, Flavian specialists will not find all combinations of TRP and COS numbers, but a very good representation and a close to all the reverse types.) Republican coins are in there with silver chronologically, almost in the order of Crawford, but with some recent date changes incorporated. If a Crawford number is given, it is not hard to find the corresponding Sear number (in volume I) since they are in virtually the same order. The volumes have many Alexandrian types (actually almost all, but not all dates of each type). For other provincials, put them at the end of the other coins of the emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
