Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 12:58 pm Here is my set of Contantinopolis coins, from the thirteen mint cities and their officinae. Rome is a little out of whack because I'm not sure of officinae there., so I'm just picking them up when I see a different production mark. If you wish, see more detail here: http://constantinopolis.weebly.com/ Anyone else have any sets they're building? Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 08:36 am Hey thanks everyone. It really hasn't been all that difficult. I started about 2.5 yrs. ago and just kept an eye out for them while looking at all ancient coins. When one showed up at a fairly low price a got it. The last few officinae I need and a couple real obscure issues from Rome I want are proving to be a real challenge. Only time will tell if I find them all. You may have the beginnings of some sort of set in your collection already. I started my Olypians portrait set just because I realized I had four or five of them already and started looking for the rest. Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 6:54 pm Good job - very nice set of coins I've started and failed to assemble a few sets in the past, SOLI INVICTO COMITI coins were the last, I managed a coin from each mint but gave up before I got all the mintmarks. As you know I still have a few pet projects related to the Tetrarchy, most find these coins boring but I'm really interested in the period historically so its where I collect. Its surprising what can be learned when you put a lot of time and emphasis into a single set of coins, it can be very rewarding. Report this Post to the Staff
