4,450 Seleucid coins from the Bibliothèque nationale de France added to SCO
This morning I received a new spreadsheet from Julien Olivier of the Bibliothèque nationale de Francewith approximately 6,500 coins connected to URIs defined in PELLA and Seleucid Coins Online. Some 2,000 Alexanders from the BnF have been incorporated in PELLA for quite some time, but we are happy to announce this latest export includes 4,450 coins from the Seleucid Empire. This nearly doubles the number of specimens available in SCO. The ANS has contributed about 4,800 itself. There are now nearly 9,700 physical coins linked to about 2,500 parent types in SCO.
Furthermore, all of the coins from the BnF are photographed and high resolution imagery is available through the IIIF protocol.
SC 379 (Antiochus I tetradrachm) is one of the best represented specimens.
