PMah's Roman Gallery has Launched... Sort of...
« on: August 27, 2018, 11:43:45 pm »
Hi folks, after several years of being an intermittent but very appreciative Forum participant, I finally got around to posting a gallery.

I started with Roman Republican struck bronze and silver, loosely defining the "Republic" to include some coins traditionally deemed "Imperatorial".

Most of these photos in these initial sets will be from the dealers, both due to quality and also because my own photos are single-sided and I have yet to master a rapid merge process.

There are many to come in this category, and I am working backwards from more recent acquisitions as those photos are better organized.  I also have to figure out an order that I like, although I will try to consistently include Crawford numbers in the titles.

Quite a few coins from Forum.

Next up is likely to be Roman Cast Coinage in a much, much smaller gallery.  Some very nice Julio-Claudians thereafter.

Constructive criticism is welcome; (frankly, even destructive criticism is at least communication about the hobby!)

Enjoy!

Coin # 101 posted to this gallery. More to come.  For the moment, though, I am a broken numismatist, pale and exhausted by cutting and pasting.  I am going to step away from the laptop for Labor Day weekend.

Thank you for the nice comments.  I have learned a great deal from the posts of many of the commentators and look forward to doing so for quite some time.

Another 20 or so struck Roman Republic coins added today, including some quite nice denarii.  

Feel free to set up a Go Fund Me  or  any other suitable wealth transfer mechanism....  I am more easily adopted than one of the Claudii....

Thanks to a chat with Carausius/Michael and other nice comments, I forced myself to make time (between 10 pm. and a bit after midnight (In vino veritas, too) to post another 15 coins in my Roman Republic gallery.

Time and organization limitations have forced me to shift my uploads to a non-chronological sequence based mostly on a near random combination of my database number and availability of 2-in-1 photos.
 I also am not in the same place as my print copy of Crawford RRC for a few months, so I am pasting a number of tertiary references along with my own idiosyncratic views of certain coins. 

Only another 200 or so struck Republicans to go.   Perhaps I will create a Cast gallery this weekend, if only for variety.

I'm not sure what I said, but I was certainly correct.  Continue to add more coins!  Nice group of additions

I added about 10 Roman Republic denarii to my gallery late last night after a bit of a hiatus.  I am falling very far behind. 
And my usual skill at balancing caffeine and wine intake was perhaps not as precise as I would prefer.

PMah,

I have viewed most of your newly posted coins. Great stuff. It wasn't obvious to me that your upper/downer balance was a little off.  :laugh:

Thanks, Steve!
   Many more Roman Republicans to follow, if I can find the time and energy and balance to post.   (Balance = I can't hold a coin, Crawford RRC, a glass of wine, and type at the same time, although three would be fine... heck, two out of three ain't bad.)
  Plus, some of my favorite coins came into my life at shows and I do not have dealer photos, adding another task to each post.
