Coins are a rich source of information for the ancient historian; yet too often historians are uneasy about using them as evidence because of the special problems attached to their interpretation. "Ancient History from Coins" demystifies this specialized subject and introduces students to the techniques, methods, problems and advantages of using coins in the study of ancient history. Christopher Howgego shows through numerous examples how the character, patterns and behavior of coinage bear on major historical themes. Covering the period from the invention of coinage (c. 600 B.C.) until the reign of Diocletian, this study examines topics ranging from state finance and economic policy to imperial domination and political propaganda through coin types.

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"--

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.
