La crise monétaire sous Gallien

2005 ? Wow : you buy more coins than I

Did you have the SISCIA AVG Reverse ? I haven't see it on your website.

that's not in my collection, but someone on Forvm Ancient coin had shown that very rare coin :

Citation :

I started collecting ancient coins in 2003. I decided in 2005 that Gallienus couldn't have been the horrible emperor that history seemed to label him, since he managed to stay in power and keep the empire mainly together despite barbarians, plagues, usurpers and a lot of bad luck

it is exactly what I thought when I started with centered my collection on gallienus....

But I would probably not have as many coins in 2050..

No. I have only seen one for sale and it was bought before I even saw it. You wouldn't have one for sale, would you?

Non. J'ai seulement vu qu'on en vente et lui a été acheté avant que je l'aie même vu. Vous n'auriez pas un en vente, vous ?

c'est vrai que Gallien ne mérite pas la légende noire que lui a collée sur le dos l'Histoire Auguste, écrite 120 ans après les faits. Il a dû faire face à la plus mauvaise conjonction de malheurs que Rome ait connu et il ne s'en est pas si mal tiré. En tout cas, beaucoup auraient fait moins bien.

If I see one I will write you.

Many thanks for your very interesting site, Marcy. :mdr97:

Marcy, you can writte anythink you want in English about Gallienus, it would be a pleasure for us to read about it. About everybody can read english here, and some of our members are american.

Thanks Fred. Sadly with work and all the back cataloging I have to do, I don't have anytime to seriously research much. I'm also trying to learn German so I can read Göbl's book, but it is slow going. If I'd only known way back then, I wouldn't have chosen to take Spanish in school.

A future plan is to create a searchable database of the Cunetio data and try to use it to figure out minting dates for the coinage. Cunetio was very precise in assigning the emissions of the mints based on style, legends, size, etc, so I'm hoping I can generalize the data to coins not listed. Of course this may be a dream rather than a plan.

I know what it is, I have a lot of work and dreams for my website too

I d like to find the book about the Cunetio Hoard.

I have the one about "le tresor d'Eauze" which can be very helpfull for you too. It's a very good book. My friend Richard Beale (http://sonic.net/~rbeale/mysite/), have find one for me a week ago.
