Product Description
Over 75,000 coins have been found during excavations at the Agora, many minted in the city but others brought from Athens' far-flung commercial contacts. In addition to the mostly bronze and copper coins themselves, a building which may have served as the Athenian mint is described in this booklet. After describing the physical techniques of production, the author takes a chronological approach and the numerous black and white photos he uses as illustration make this concise guide a useful aid to the identification of lower value Greek and Roman coinage.
