<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2484433, member: 19463"]There will never be neat lines drawn that work for every case. I keep my Pseudo -autonomous coins at the end of Roman Provincials even though that means that a Nero follows a Diocletian. To me the easiest way is to pick a book like Sear Greek Imperials (or whatever you have) and follow it. Certainly I'd like to have a full set of the new Roman Provincial Coins but the volumes of that likely to be issued during my lifetime are few enough that following the ones that do exist does not seem necessary. Very few of us follow RIC for our Imperials since they mix rulers when there were co-emperors or split things into what seems like meaningless periods. Part of me would use Cohen where it not for his ignoring mints which mean something to me. There is no book on Roman coins that orders things in a way I really like. Provincials are even harder. It seems silly to put coins issued in one city on one day in several separate sections of a catalog according to the head on the obverse but it is what I do. I know no better way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
