Viggen Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 ...seems like a fantastic project! A new program to digitize the Roman coins in the ANS Collection will begin later this year, the Online Coins of the Roman Empire(OCRE) project, Co-directed by Dr. Andrew Meadows of the ANS and Professor Roger Bagnall of ISAW and managed by Dr. Gilles Bransbourg. OCRE is a ground breaking initiative to create an online reference and cataloguing tool for coinage of the Roman Empire. Through its use of a Linked Open Data model, OCRE will provide full descriptions and illustrations of the 45,000 different types of Roman Imperial Coinage, as well as providing a union catalogue of specimens held in major collections. ...more at CoinWeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the interesting post. Many of us interested in Ancient Rome have two major gaps in our knowledge, Latin and numismatics. Hopefully, this site will help us with out numismatic research and learning. Right now, however, the ANS site is still a work in progress. Till the site is more developed, I would recommend using this popular site: http://www.wildwinds.com/ Thank you for posting, guy also known as gaius Edited May 6, 2014 by guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
