Unearth the hidden story of ancient riches and what coin hoards reveal about the past.
This book surveys hoards found across the world, explaining how discoveries happen, what conditions protect coins, and how experts date ancient finds. It blends practical observations with historical context, helping readers understand why people buried valuables and what those buried caches tell us about ancient economies.
Readers will explore how hoards are found, from riverbanks and trenches to buried pots and hidden vaults. The text explains the differences in coin condition, how burial timing affects dating, and how specialists use style, inscriptions, and dating methods to place finds in history. Real-world examples illustrate both surprising discoveries and the questions they raise about ownership and usage of treasure.
- How hoards are buried, hidden, and eventually uncovered in different environments.
- What coin condition and wear reveal about when a hoard was buried.
- Ways experts classify and date finds using coin types, regions, and historical references.
- Notable examples from Britain, the Mediterranean, and the ancient world, with lessons for numismatics.
Ideal for readers curious about ancient money, treasure finds, and the science behind dating and interpreting coin hoards.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
