For your own purposes, why not, but I think the general utility of such concordances would be limited.

a. Because Strack numbers are not widely cited by dealers and collectors. So very few of them would feel the need to use your concordance.

b. Because once you have the description of a coin, and its Cohen number, which both RIC and Strack cite, it is fairly easy to find a coin in Strack for which you have an RIC number, and vice versa.

c. Seaby's Roman Silver Coins, whose primary numeration follows Cohen, cites for each coin the equivalent catalogue numbers in BMC, RIC, and Strack. So that work can be used as a concordance RIC - Strack or Strack - RIC for all of Hadrian's silver coins, though not of course for his bronze coins or aurei.

d. Because a new edition of RIC for Hadrian is due to appear within the next couple of years. After that, no one will be using or trying to find the old RIC numbers. Whether the new RIC will itself cite Strack, I do not know, though I think it should!

Curtis,

Thank you, i did not know that there is a new RIC upcoming.
i Find Strack in some ways better then what i see in RIC, and sadly i do not often see Strack in auctions.
That's why i was thinking in this way, because what is handy for me can be handy for others.
i'll work it further out in private.

All the Best,
Eric

I am fairly certain that the new RIC will be citing Strack numbers from my previous correspondence with the compiler.
