Introductory Guide to Ancient Greek and Roman Coins. Volume 1 - Greek Civic Coins and Tribal Issues

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.
