Roman Lex Aternia et Tarpeia (c. 454 BC) a.k.a. "Tarpeian Law" replaced livestock as 'money' with copper, defined as weight of metal per ox (cattle). The Republican law stated oxen were to be valued at 100 libra (pounds) of copper each & sheep at 10 libra. https://t.co/E83QGziKiI

@SarahPrinceps @ACANSMQ RRC 1/1 is not actually 'Roman' - Crawford is misleading. It's a Greek coin, issued by Greeks as litra w/Greek legend. Depicts Magna Graecia symbols & of Neapolis mint. Greeks named Rome to honor Rhómé (Romulus). To Greeks, ΡΩΜΑΙΩΝ is eponym like sim to Athena/Corinthia coinage.

Was a #Roman Republic beard sign of slovenliness & squalor? Each subtle Janus beard type (long or flowing, short or cropped), in the #Münzkabinett collection of ancient Roman aes grave bronze coins, appear to dignify, compliment & even flatter his decorum. https://t.co/vK0i1IB5cL

Nurturing the Next Generation of Coin Collectors
Comparing, sorting, ordering & collecting are natural desires to process the world & work to educate, entertain & inspire. Young numismatists learn many softer skills i.e. patience, determination & analysis. https://t.co/z6zK4z4YEV

Largest Claudian precious metal hoard found in UK.
Examination of Suffolk Detectorist's treasure coin hoard by BM curator Dr. Ghey "is unusual because it combines Iron Age coins of Cunobelin (who ruled in the North Thames area and had a power base at Colchester) w/Roman coinage."

WLRN interviews Matthew Tavory, next-gen collector on coins as history, viz., “...a coin made during the siege of Vienna when the Ottomans were attacking it in 1529 & it was made to pay the defenders during this siege. You don’t have that kind of amazing history with U.S. coins.”

[WLRN Public Media @WLRN]

The coin industry is changing, and 21-year-old Matthew Tavory is part of the transformation. His generation of coin enthusiasts is bringing new life to an ancient hobby. https://t.co/uqnRwx4cFy

Absolutely! @BaldwinsCoins May we add the intangible & intrinsic as factors? Developed understandings, appreciation of history & expert opinions can conjure emotions, respect & sense of regard. The metal mass becomes cultural gem - an intrinsic value often greater than monetary.

[Baldwin's @BaldwinsCoins]

What is the most valuable #coin you own? Collectable coins have a value that depends on two major factors; scarcity and condition. Prices are set by collectors & dealers based around demand. This happens mainly through auctions and a network of coin dealers.
