in 13/feb I added a roman coin ( * Follis - Constantius Gallus (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Heraclea)) to the catalog and still am waiting for it to be validated, or not.
The referees are volunteers, so give them some space, they need to verify what you postulate! Did you by the way give the documentation proving your CR?
Jarcek, of course, but he's not really a referee for Rome, he's the second in command of Numista, so he's more like a facilitator and can't be all over for everybody all the time!
All my requests sent in the last few days for the Roman Empire have been validated in a day. I don't know if it is because it's a new coin page or what but Jarcek is activly verifing this issuer.
That is normal for Numista. The backlog is at least half a year currently.
Not for every issuer. It would be nice to have an average approuval time by issuer.
While I sometimes get annoyed at approval times, I don't think posting times is a good idea. Xavier has said there is non-public work on slow approval times (in addition to the public referee recruitment). Posting numbers could lead to more public shaming of referees and I don't think that would be helpful.
For example, a referee could lose a parent and be stuck dealing with the estate for months. If someone commented on the increased approval times we could lose a good referee.

as usual. Already had some delay between adding the info and the reply from the referee, but never with ancient coins.

We really need dedicated referee for Rome section. We need someone with lots of catalogues and also probably more than one person, as there are too many coins (and many more are still missing).
I try to work on Roman coins, but without catalogues, it is hard to properly validate new creation requests, only those where I can be fairly sure of the sources cited and which are perfectly made by requestors are processed quickly.
I just had a look at yours, and I sent it back to you for minor modification.

I have a few catalogues on the Roman republic on pdf but not much else. Maybe it would help.

Thank you, hope I did it right now. Also have rome catalogs on pdf, if that helps.
