BnF collection online
« on: August 08, 2020, 11:55:10 am »
Not sure if this is a recent change or not, but a decent portion of the Paris BnF collection is now online.

This seems to be a work-in-progress since currently for the tetrarchy it seems to be fairly complete, but for Constantine so far it only includes the bronze medallions.

You can search the collection here:

https://catalogue.bnf.fr/index.do

1) Enter search term using french version of emperor's name (e.g. "constantin" for Constantine) and hit ENTER

2) On left side of screen go to "Nature de document" section, click (+) to expand it, then select "Objects monetiformes" (i..e coins)

3) On the next screen you can further refine your search using sections on left side of screen, e.g. in "Collections" select "serie romaine"

4) Click on image in search results to view item details

5) On individual coin screen, click on "Consulter en ligne" at screen bottom right to see both sides of coin
