For the past few weeks, the online version of Henry Cohen's Description historique des monnaies frappées sous l'Empire Romain has been inaccessible. When I visit the Virtual Cohen site, I get a "509 Bandwidth limit exceeded" notice. What's up with this? Does anyone have a link to a functional online version of Cohen?
There is this one: https://archive.org/details/descriptionhisto05coheuoft and this one: https://www.yumpu.com/fr/document/v...ue-des-monnaies-frappees-sous-lempire-romain-
Sounds like the site owners will have to pony up more hosting money if the traffic continues at current levels.
Available at INumis too where you can choose volume by volume whet to browse : https://www.inumis.com/ouvrages-numerises/ Q
Cohen is completely updated. The guy (by the way who is Cohen?) didn't know anything about coins. Please do not lose your time with him.
Thank you all! Those resources aren't as user friendly as the one that I used to use, but they are functional at least. We make do with what we have, right?
There's a short bio of him here. He was a curator at the BnF's Cabinet des Medailles for a while. https://yamm.finance/wiki/Henry_Cohen_(numismatist).html I don't know I would say he knew nothing about coins... maybe more that nobody knew much about Roman coins until RIC came out and finally attributed coins to mints and assigned dates to them.
@Ocatarinetabellatchitchix is, of course, joking. Ocat wrote the biography of Henry Cohen here at CT. It's a great write-up and it was a featured article last year!
