I am announcing my website on
Byzantine coin legends:
http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Byz/legends.htmlIt is possible to collect
Byzantine coins by emperor and
type without knowing what their legends say. The site is intended to enable collectors to understand and translate the legends.
It has sections on numerals/numbers, the
Greek alphabet,
abbreviations and words, emperor's names, mints,
monograms, and many examples in order of
Sear number.
I intend the page to be easy to navigate. There are very many internal links and most legends are linked to images of coins with those legends. It is primarily aimed at copper coins. Unusual legends on
rare gold and silver coins have been omitted.
This is the first announced version of the web site. Web sites are easy to correct and supplement. If you have suggestions for corrections or supplements, please contact me at the email address on the site. Again, the URL is:
