Welcome to Beast Coins. Here you will find topics and collections from Ancient Rome to worldly bears.  Elizabeth and I have been collecting ancient coins since October, 1997.

During 2003, the decision was made to start focusing on fewer study topics in order to do more in depth analysis, instead of collecting over a wide range of material.  The pages showing material no longer in our collection will remain static, but could end up becoming topics we collect again in the future.  For now, the collections we will be pursuing are:

bullet

Ancient Architecture (specifically campgates)

bullet

Ancient and World Bears

bullet

Eastern and Antioch Hadrian AR Denarii

bullet

Hercules

bullet

Probus

bullet

and most importantly, the Victoriae Laetae series of Late Roman period.
