Newly Online: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)

Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)

 

Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE) is a joint project of the American Numismatic Society and the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University to create a digital corpus of the coinage of the Roman Empire.   

The project will ultimately record every published type of Roman Imperial Coinage, and will provide links to examples in major collections published online. To date OCRE records all types from Augustus to Hadrian (27 BC – AD 138), and links to examples present in the ANS collection.

OCRE is a Numishare tool based on the stable numismatic identities established by the Nomisma project.
