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.\u003cbr\u003eThe period covered by the book is from the invention of coinage (ca 600BC) to AD 400.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Howgego\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138167916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138167919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Christopher Howgego","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128682737919,"sku":"9781138167919","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04e4a304-12c9-480a-8c43-c87db6065f64.jpg?v=1687459964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-history-from-coins-christopher-howgego-9781138167919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
