<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8501563, member: 44316&quot;]I wonder how many of you take notes on what is out there that you might collect. Do you keep a paper (or digital) want list? Or, is your want list all in your head? Or, maybe you don&#039;t plan much in advance and just buy what pleases you at the moment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Long ago I used to take copious paper notes on what I saw in paper catalogs that I might like and what they cost (This note taking was largely made obsolete by the web and especially acsearch). I took extensive notes on Roman imperial historical types (made obsolete by <i>Roman Historical Coins</i> by Foss). A simple example might be all the types of the animal series struck for the 1000th anniversary of Rome under Philip. I still take lots of notes on any mini-series I might collect. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I can make web pages that incorporate the information I assemble. It&#039;s my updated version of &quot;notes&quot; that I share with others.&nbsp; For years I have been interested in AE coins of Diocletian (284-305) and later. I have very many web pages on them, each of which is like notes on a theme that might be collected. Here is my latest page which is simply a list of emperors and mints that issued GENIO POPVLI ROMANI types, linked to pages with images of them.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GPRtypes.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GPRtypes.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/GPRtypes.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one example of the common GENIO POPVLI ROMANI type:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1503882[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">Maximian, Cyzicus mint.</font></p><p><font size="4">28 mm. 9.17 grams.</font></p><p><font size="4">IMP C MA MAXIMIANVS PF AVG</font></p><p><font size="4">KΔ in exergue</font></p><p><font size="4"><i>RIC</i> Cyzicus 12a &quot;c.295-296&quot;</font></p><p><br /></p><p>If you know very little about coins of the First Tetrarchy, that new page is not the place to start. An introductory page is here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to skip the introduction, here is a page of links to pages about coins of the era:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/tetrarchy/extra.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to hear if you have a written want list, and if you take notes and what types of notes they are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
