Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A History of Ancient Coinage written by Percy Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient Coinage: 700-300 B. C I have been unable at present to continue this history into the Hellenistic age. The truth is that, in the case Of coins, as in the case of politics, religion, and all else, the problems of the Hellenistic age are not the same as those Of the autonomous age. We have kingdoms in the place of city-states. The question of coin standards becomes far simpler in consequence of the wide adoption of the Attic weight. But the question Of mints becomes infinitely more complex, and in fact is full Of difficulties at present insoluble, because the mint-cities seldom place their names on their money, more Often a monogram difficult of interpretation.

Download or read book A History of Money written by Glyn Davies and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2016-05-15 with total page 1463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Money looks at how money as we know it developed through time. Starting with the barter system, the basic function of exchanging goods evolved into a monetary system based on coins made up of precious metals and, from the 1500s onwards, financial systems were established through which money became intertwined with commerce and trade, to settle by the mid-1800s into a stable system based upon Gold. This book presents its closing argument that, since the collapse of the Gold Standard, the global monetary system has undergone constant crisis and evolution continuing into the present day.
Download or read book Ancient Coins Through the Bible written by Joseph A. Dow and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coins have not changed much throughout antiquity. Yes, they are made from different, more durable materials now, but they are still etched with depictions of their civilization, whether that means the profile of George Washington or the profile of Emperor Nero or the profile of a lion, the symbol of ancient Babylon. Following the course of time from Abraham to the Crusaders, Ancient Coins through the Bible chronicles the history of various locations mentioned throughout the Bible and presents photographs of ancient coins minted in these cities. Though we cannot see those ancient civilizations or the way they lived, these tangible bits of the past speak abundantly about them. As you view these fragments of history, imagine you are traveling with Abraham to Canaan and Paul to Spain. Experience the biblical stories visually through the coins depicted instead of simply reading them, and better understand the lessons taught by God's Word.
