Does anyone know how to
search for an *imperial* (not
provincial) coin on the Gallica website, so a coin in the
Paris collection ? I am looking for the
RIC 722 coin, listed (but without an example) on the
OCRE website, and for which
RIC cites
Cohen 919. Usually, unless
Cohen gives a source such as Gréau,
Wiczay, or the name of a private
collection, the coin he cites is in the
Paris collection.
Simply searching under "Antonin le Pieux" gives me about 37,000 pages of 15 coins
per page, including
provincials, and single mentions in books and sales catalogs.
I found the
https://catalogue.bnf.fr/search.do page but when I
search for Truie and Pieux, it shows me several coins with incorrect descriptions, e.g. coins of
Titus described as
Vespasian with completely incorrect legends, all described as a sow left with six piglets, but the image show a woman standing left, a
legend in
wreath, Demeter seated left etc... with no
animals in sight on any of them.
