Synopsis:
Ancient coins reveal living history through beauty, stories, and intimate, tangible insight.
Ancient coins have long fascinated generations of collectors by virtue of their beauty, the stories they tell, and for the unique insight they give into the history of the time in which they were made. They can be held, felt and examined without the need for visiting a museum – they are, quite literally, living history.
About the Author: David Sear is among the most notable numismatic authors writing today; his seminal texts have become the standard handbooks for collectors of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine coinage. This guide is intended as an approachable and informative introduction to the hobby, and is a must for anyone interested in the history of the ancient Greek world.
