Hope this is the appropriate section for this one. One thing I constantly struggle with is how to group some of my coins, especially
Roman Provincials. I am curious what y'alls various takes are on this. As I add coins to my
Gallery, I am reorganizing my
collection.
I currently have some
Roman Provincials in my
Roman Empire section, but I have some in my city/state sections, which for me is primarily Greek cities and states. I want to standardize this once and for all. So, I think I have it figured out and would like to know what you think about the
Provincials. I tend to want coins from certain localities from all periods.
1. Pure Greek, including Kings and cities, such as Macedon where we find both categories, I have them all in same category.
2.
Roman Republic3.
Roman Empire official issues
4.
Roman Provincials with their Greek cities and states. I focus a lot on places, this seems reasonable for me to keep all coins from a city/state together. I have
had some
Provincials is their own section, but then it gets even more confusing with
pseudo-autonomous coins. I am thinking all coins from
Ephesus, for example, go into the same category in chronological order. I like this as the
history may be traced from start to finish. This is where my main concern is, getting these coins in the correct categories
5. A few other small groupings that I won't go into here. I would put any tribal imitations into a
Celtic category, most likely, and not in a
Roman category.
I figure when I do additional groups in my
Gallery, I will continue what I started, such as "Greek, State, City." I am thinking of including the
pseudo-autonomous and
Provincials within these overall categories. The biggest thing is viewers may not realize I am including
Roman coins in these groupings, but I could
handle that in the folder description.
Anyway, appreciate any input here.
Thanks,
Virgil
