Description

This paper will present the preliminary findings from the second phase of the Roman Republican Die Project, with data focused on the important historical period of 90 to 75 BCE. Findings from RRDP allow for updates to Crawford’s RRC from the addition of previously unobserved control marks to the revision of Crawford’s typologies. Most important, however, are the possibilities of quantification that are made possible through the transcription of Schaefer’s materials into digital formats, available through the RRDP database and CRRO.
