[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3549867, member: 75937"]I have them in broad categories and then subdivided based upon which makes most sense for my collection. Greek not including Roman provincials - Arranged geographically according to Eckhel's system - Seleukids and Ptolemies chronologically Judean - Arranged by Hendin numbers Roman, including republican, imperial and provincials - Republican by BMCRR numbers - Empire chronologically by ruler, each ruler subdivided as follows: [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR]- Emperor, Empress, other relatives in the order they appear in BMCRE through Pupienus, or Sear (after Pupienus), each subdivided as follows: [COLOR=#ffffff].........[/COLOR]- Imperial issues by BMCRE or Sear number (Göbl for Valerian et al). [COLOR=#ffffff].........[/COLOR]- Provincial issues geographically according to Eckhel's system [COLOR=#ffffff]..................[/COLOR]- Coins of the Balkans by AMNG number [COLOR=#ffffff]..................[/COLOR]- Other provincial coins by BMC number For example: Antoninus Pius by BMCRE4 number, followed by his provincials, then Faustina I by BMCRE number, followed by her provincials, then Faustina II under Antoninus Pius by BMCRE, then Marcus Aurelius by BMCRE, followed by his provincials, then Faustina II under Aurelius, followed by her provincials, then Lucius Verus by BMCRE, followed by his provincials, then Lucilla by BMCRE, followed by her provincials, then Commodus by BMC, followed by his provincials, then Crispina by BMC, followed by her provincials, etc. It sounds complicated, but it pretty much follows Sear's arrangement of rulers but with the provincials of each person inserted after their imperial issues. Byzantine by Sear numbers.[/QUOTE]
