A joint project of the American Numismatic Society and the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, at New York University is creating a revolutionary new tool designed to help in the identification, cataloguing, and research of the rich and varied coinage of the Roman Empire.

This will create an easy to use digital corpus, with downloadable catalogue entries, incorporating almost 50,000 types of coins.
