Been going through these slowly, still struggling with getting down to the full id on some of them. Mint and year etc. Starting to sell a few on and would like to be able to know everything about each one before it goes into my collection or passed on so I can photo each one and log it for future reference. Apart from having the Prieur book is there any other source available to look these up fully? Wildwinds has a fair amount on, but that is taking my literally forever. For example, apart from the id of the Emperor on the coin below, there are several marks that I still can't find a good reference on, like the 'z' at the base of the neck on the obverse and the different symbols that appear on the reverse below the main body of the eagle.

Prieur is the only definitive resource on these at present as far as I am aware.

If you want to PM me I will give you my email address and you can email me some images and I will rattle through some Ids for you if that would be helpful.

This coin:-
Treb. Gallus
First Issue
Z both sides with this particular eagle stance makes it Preiur 668 citing 29 examples.

cf. this example:-

Thanks again for the information Martin.
These seem a lot harder to break down into sections than the late Imperial stuff I am used to.
Like on some of the Constantine II you get a straight forward DNCONSTANTIVSPF (full name) then AVG - Augustus, could't be easier, but I just can't make the same connection at all with these, probably a case of the type of lettering from the Province throwing me a little.
I tried a mail think your PM settings need changing for me to send a message to you?
