Excerpt from Coin Types: Their Origin and Development; Being the Rhind Lectures for 1904
These lectures, delivered on the invitation of the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, were addressed to a general audience. In compliance with a wish to which strong expression was given at the conclusion of the course, they are now printed just as they were originally written. The book is thus meant primarily for the ordinary cultivated reader. In the circumstances, it would be idle to pretend that it is exhaustive. At the same time, as the first system atic attempt to marshal the main facts, it may fairly claim the attention of numismatists. It will, I believe, be found that the results are to some extent fresh.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: 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.
