Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a systematic examination of the origin and evolution of coin types - the easily recognizable marks that constitute coins. It traces their development from their inception in the 7th century B.C. up until approximately 350 B.C. and explores the different principles that influenced the design of these types. The author argues that an understanding of these principles provides valuable insights into the social, economic, and artistic context of ancient Greece and Rome. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the religious, commercial, and political motivations behind the choice of different types, and examines the profound influence that local traditions and cultural factors had on their design. Ultimately, this book brings to light the significance of coin types as a window into the beliefs and practices of the ancient world.
