<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3195434, member: 14873&quot;]I recently made the extremely tough decision to really “downsize” my collection and shift my collecting and researching focus. That has led me to re-write my website and pages. You can access the new home page at:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://jp29.org/000master.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/000master.htm" rel="nofollow">http://jp29.org/000master.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope the explanation I supply there (and repeat here) is satisfactory. All comments and suggestions are welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>About the new site and pages ……………</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always had a special interest in the coinage depicted on these pages. And that is only natural, for I was born and grew up in northern England (Lancashire and Yorkshire).</p><p><br /></p><p>The area where I grew up was steeped in Britannic-Roman history. Some of the moors I hiked in my youth could have been the land on which Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla &amp; Geta had campaigned in AD 211 and Constantius &amp; his son Constantine in AD 306. Both of those fathers died in York (Eboracum) in north Yorkshire during those campaigns</p><p><br /></p><p>And so with my heritage it was also natural that I sought out Roman coins with Britannic association from that period of history when I began to collect and research them shortly after the end of WW2 (1945). I have collected and researched them ever since.</p><p><br /></p><p>Creative Commons</p><p><br /></p><p>There is now an enormous amount of excellent reference material available on the Internet, however, much of it is not freely available due to copyright concerns.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a passionate advocate for maximum free use of online material.
