Description
Taken from the project website (accessed 2026-09-16):
Historia Numorum Online is a collaborative project which aims to record and publish all types and varieties of the coins minted before the Roman period (c. 650-30 BCE). The first volume being developed covers a region of southwestern Asia Minor called Caria and is supported by a two-year funding by the Laboratoire des Sciences Archéologiques de Bordeaux (LaScArBx) and is based at the Institut Ausonius (UMR 5607), which is part of the Université Bordeaux Montaigne (UBM) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).
The first volume covers Caria, a southwestern region of Asia Minor (map). It is expected to be completed in 2022 and should include an estimated 10 000 coins illustrating some 2 900 individual types from 48 identified mints. A paper publication should follow the completion of the online database. It is hoped that further volumes will be undertaken by specialists of other regions.
