Welcome to Dadscoins

Inside these pages, you'll find my humble RIC collection. There's also a few Provincials, plus other coins from my growing collection including: Celtic, Early English Hammered and a few Milled Crowns.
I'm no way an expert on Roman Imperial Coins, but I find that by writing and including historical notes to my collection, I learn via the jigsaw method. So you'll find plenty of holes in my head count, but you should in theory, see enough of a catalog to use as a beginners resouce to Roman Imperial Coins.

There will also be a few pages dedicated to other pass times and hobbies, including, Walks, Archeaolgy and so on. My family will make the odd guest appearence along the way too.

So where to start? Well, below is a table of the RIC pages as I see them developing (remember these pages are a work in progress).
I'm also trying to write the content of these pages in a way that is easier for both me and the reader to digest
