Coins from Troy

Sebastian Heath has uploaded a test page from a forthcoming digital publication of coins from Troy. See:http://mediterraneanceramics.blogspot.com/2009/05/few-items.html and http://classics.uc.edu/troy/coins/ The work will presumably update the site's publication on coins, that dates back to 1961.

Sebastian Heath and his University sponsors deserve kudos for this effort. Few sites have published catalogues of coins in book form and when available, they are often dated, hard to find and expensive. Digital catalogues of site finds would seem to be a way to make information about coins found at archaeological sites easily available to both scholars and interested members of the public. Hopefully, more archaeologists will make publishing site finds of coins a priority in the future.
