This heavily illustrated book provides a spirited account of the first coinages and their living descendants in our pockets and purses. It explains how people from Jesus to The Beatles have used numismatics to explore the social, political, economic, and religious history of the world"--

Book Description
Like other volumes in this series, Ancient History from Coins demystifies a specialism, introducing students (from first year upwards) to the techniques, methods, problems and advantages of using coins to do ancient history. Coins are a fertile source of information for the ancient historian; yet too often historians are uneasy about using them as evidence because of the special problems attaching to their interpretation. The world of numismatics is not always easy for the non-specialist to penetrate or understand with confidence. Dr Howgego describes and anlyses the main contributions the study of coins can make to ancient history, showing shows through numerous examples how the character, patterns and behaviour of coinage bear on major historical themes. Topics range from state finance and economic policy to imperial domination and political propaganda through coins types. The period covered by the book is from the invention of coinage (ca 600BC) to AD 400.

Book Description
One of the more unusual sources for lost or ruinous buildings from ancient Greece or Rome is coinage. This well-illustrated and accessible study examines a wide range of coins which recall and evoke buildings which were clearly important to Roman powers. The book is arranged by building-type, including roads, harbours, aqueducts, Rome's public buildings, temples, triumphal arches and altars. Many coins are illustrated and all technical terms are explained in the glossary.
