  • Seleucid Coins Online update

    Seleucid Coins Online is [mostly] complete and published

    From the Numishare blog …
    After a few months of continuous work on normalizing data and fixing some type numbering issues, Seleucid Coins Online has been updated and completed (with the exception of some typos or missing type/subtype records we might invariably find). There are now 2,519 total coin types from Seleucus I until late Roman Republican and early Augustan types issued with under the stated authority of Philip I (posthumously). There are about 6,000 subtypes nested hierarchically under these parent types, and more than 2,000 physical specimens from the ANS, Berlin, Muenster, Harvard Art Museums, and the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia have been linked to SCO, either at a higher parent type level (for worn coins) or at the specific subtype when an accurate identification can be made. Oliver Hoover is still working on cataloging later Seleucid coins in the ANS collection, so the coverage will be expanded in the near future.

  • American Numismatic Society Publications Online

    From AWOL, the Ancient World Online service:

    540 American Numismatic Society publications are now available in the Hathi Trust Digital Library as full-text for free use by the public.

    In a sweeping effort to make its older and out-of‐print publications available to the public as Open Access, The American Numismatic Society has partnered with HathiTrust. As a result of this partnership scans of nearly 550 ANS titles – including the American Journal of Numismatics, Numismatic Literature, Numismatic Notes and Monographs, and stand-­alone monographs have become fully readable and downloadable to anyone who wants them under a Creative Commons, non-­commercial, attribution, share-­alike license. This means that these ANS publications can be used for personal reading, research, and academic publication just so long as the ANS is cited as the source. Titles currently in the public domain – already have a home on HathiTrust. These volumes were OCR-scanned as part of the Google Books project.

    HathiTrust, founded in 2008 by the member universities of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and the University of California, is a large, collaborative repository of digital content from research libraries and publishers that includes content digitized by Google Books and Internet Archive and Microsoft. Millions of volumes are available via HathiTrust’s website. The entire repository can be full-text searched.

  • The coins of Ephesus

    CCCRH has recently published a series of three articles by Dr Peter Lewis on the coins of Ephesus.

    These first appeared in the May, June and July 2018 issues of the Australasian Coin and Banknote Magazine, and are republished here with the permission of the editor.

    The three articles offer a detailed discussion of selected coins from the ancient city of Ephesus and will be supplemented by another on a new coin of Tiberius that was minted at Ephesus. That study appeared in the August issue of the magazine and will be available online shortly.

  • Digital British Numismatic Journal

    The British Numismatic Journal (BNJ) is the Society’s principal publication and has been published since 1903. The Society has recently made a complete digital archive of all issues of the BNJ to 2007 freely available to download. New and recent volumes will be made available five years after publication.

    In late 2011, large PDF files of entire volumes were made freely available on the society’s web space. In 2012, the volumes have been split into their constituent articles and made available to search via a google search bar on the page.
