Welcome to the research site of Beast Coins, LLC. Here you will find topics and collections from Ancient Rome to worldly bears.  

Most of the material found on this site was part of my collection or was inventory sold through my VCoins store. Some of the topics on this site with the most extensive research thus far include:

bullet

Ancient Architecture (specifically campgates)

bullet

Ancient and World Bears

bullet

Eastern and Antioch Hadrian AR Denarii

bullet

and most importantly, the Victoriae Laetae series of Late Roman period.

For those interested in ancient campgates, I am selling my somewhat extensive collection (over 700 pieces) through VAuctions, in twelve parts, broken down by mint. The first auction, the Antioch Mint, will open for bidding on September 4. I also had a nice selection of imitative type pieces, which will be sold with the mint coins they imitate. Here is the schedule of the auctions:
