Forum di discussione di Numismatic in Italiano / Re: moneta classica da identificare , replica?

« Last post by Kery B on Today at 02:56:15 am »

Nel 2022, il Parlamento georgiano ha approvato una legge che impone restrizioni significative sul gioco d'azzardo, tra cui l'innalzamento del limite di età per il gioco, il divieto di pubblicità e l'imposizione di tasse https://gratowinlogin.com più elevate sul settore. L'implementazione di queste nuove norme ha creato alcune difficoltà al settore del gioco d'azzardo in Georgia e non è chiaro se la legge verrà allentata in futuro. Tuttavia, rispetto ai Paesi limitrofi, le regole e i requisiti per ottenere una licenza rimangono relativamente clementi.

Sebbene il turismo sia considerato la principale fonte di entrate dal gioco d'azzardo in Italia, i locali giocano quasi altrettanto. La dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo è stata definita una vera e propria piaga sociale in Italia, che causa disagio a molte famiglie https://sportazait.com . Un'ampia ricerca ha anche documentato il problema della dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo tra i minori. Questi problemi non potevano essere ignorati e hanno quindi influenzato la legislazione italiana.

Great additions, especially the Flavians.  The Domitian being right out of the pages of Josephus!

Books and References / Re: Crash course with patience - what are the must-have texts?

« Last post by Equity on Yesterday at 08:22:22 pm »

Hello,

For the Roman Republic, beyond Crawford’s RRC, I’ve found these references highly useful:
David Sear’s History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators
Crawford’s Coinage and Money under the Roman Republic (a powerful and comprehensive economic analysis based on coinage/hoard evidence)

As a collector, Sear’s Roman Silver Coins (the old volume 1 cataloguing the Republic in particular) has been a useful compact reference.
RPC (Roman provincial coinage, catalogued online) should not be neglected!

Books and References / Crash course with patience - what are the must-have texts?

« Last post by Elliott D on Yesterday at 07:51:48 pm »

Hello everyone!

My question is simple: what are the key texts that I would need to read in order to have a working knowledge of Roman coins?

Yes, a huge question. I will establish some chronological boundaries: the Republic through Marcus Aurelius.

Still, a huge question, right? To narrow it down a bit more, I would like to read comprehensive texts along the lines of David Van Meter's "handbook" of the major types from 27 BC through 498 AD. I know that Crawford's text on Roman Republican coinage is essential, and I plan on purchasing that book in the near future.

Finally, to whittle a bit more, here is my real question:

Other than Van Meter and Crawford, what are 3-5 essential texts - think 'desert island texts - that one would need to read to begin their serious study of ancient Roman coins.

Probably a tough question because there are so many experienced and respected numismatists reading these words, but of course, I need to start somewhere.

Thank you for your help and wisdom!

Pax, Elliott

The Members' Gallery / 4 More Imperial Bronzes Added

« Last post by ancientdave on Yesterday at 07:41:20 pm »

Hello again, my friends. I am on a roll and will keep posting through my backlog. Today I have added 4 more bronze coins, a scarce quadrans of Augustus of seemingly Gaulish mintage, a scarce uncertain Eastern Mint Vespasian As that comes from the same mysterious issue as the Semis I posted up last go round, a nice As of Domitian as Caesar and a rare small module As of Hadrian with Tyche and Orontes reverse that also belongs to an odd, poorly understood issue. I hope you will enjoy seeing them, and as always, thank you in advance for looking and commenting.
