Description:

This is an educational site about Roman Republican coins and related books, and this page provides links to over two thousand coins, illustrated and described, including a complete history of Roman Republican Coinage,, and links to webpages where you can read reviews of hundreds of books and articles about the coins and their history. From time to time I write commentary essays and all these are archived on my blog page. The latest commentary article is at the bottom of this home page. There are also many original short essays, some that take a detailed look at a coin series, and others that chart the development of coinage from the Roman kings through the end of the Roman Republic. Numismatic literature is the right word for the books, but the spirit of this website aims for shorter words and a lighter approach. I wrote it just for fun, and comments about the books are subjective and my own opinion. If you have read something that I would like, or if you have a comment about this website, please contact me either via the yahoo group RROME or by clicking on any picture on this site and writing in the comment box, or by adding a comment in the box at the bottom of this page. If you would like to explore the complete content of this site please visit my homepage There is nothing for sale here. Happy reading! Original Material, written for this website, or adapted and republished from earlier publicationsFor some time I have directed people interested in coin pictures to a text list of coin sets on this website. Experience has shown thata direct entry to the Flickr site is preferred, and I think it is best to invite visitors to the the entry page for my collections on Flickr;a picture of this site is shown below - which can be clicked to directly enter the picture site: I invite all to enjoy this new photo presentation, which complements the Crawford-RRC arrangement described at thetop of this home-page! Direct links to each mixed-content web-page on andrewmccabe.ancients.info indicating the theme(s) for each web-page (per old home page index)January 2013 - New home page structure, and Crawford RRC-based illustrated catalogue.This new home page is the most significant update since 2009, and addresses two major improvements, in the structure, indexing and navigation aids of my home page, and in introducing a Crawford RRC-based illustrated catalogue of RomanRepublican coins, directly on this website rather than accessed via my photo database on Flickr. First, the home pageindex system has been redesigned around the different forms of content on the site, coins, book reviews and articles,regardless where this content is stored on the various web-pages of the site. Hence if you are seeking a book review orinformation about numismatic books on a given topic, these can be found by scrolling down to the book review section of thishome page or by clicking on this button:From time to time I have added specialist articles in various places on my website, usually associated with the theme of a particular web-page. Sometimes these articles have been difficult to find at a later time. So I have listed all these articles on the home page, and they can be found by scrolling down to the specialist article section of thishome page or by clicking on this button:At regular intervals since 2009 I have also written short personal commentaries on the home page, in the form of a blog posting that I updated every few months, and the text I am currently writing is typical of such postings. Over time these have caused the home page to extend more and more in length. So I have now moved these older postings to a dedicated commentaries web-page. I will continue to write the most recent postings direct on my home page but all older postscan be found on the blog page, also available by clicking on this button:Whilst the content of my existing web-pages remains unchanged, I am retiring the historic index system which arrangedmy web-pages according to themes. The theme-based pages became, over time, too complex. However I have replaced thesewith a full listing of my current webpages, with a brief indication of their content, at the bottom of my home page (i.e. just above this commentary section). I also include direct links to my Flickr photo-sets on this page and on every other web-page on my site.Second, there is a new presentation of coins of the Roman Republic, arranged strictly by Crawford RRC number, with photos shown to the correct relative scaleand with my commentary. This new presentation can be found at the top of this home page broken into 20 sections arrangedby RRC number. Each page within this newpresentation includes the index to all other sections of the catalogue. A key feature of this presentationis that all the photographs were taken against the same size background, so it is easily seen that all coinsare exactly to scale. The first page covers Early Roman Coinage and the last, twentieth page covers the Battle of Actium and its coinage, with the history of Roman coinage unfolding between the two sections. The photosare shown in large dimensions, as per examples below, and the click-throughs lead to enlargements double this size.So these new web-pages will make the most of your fast broadband and high-density pixel displays!Andrew McCabe, January 2013.
