The want of a general chronological view of the coinage of the
ancients has long been felt by all who have devoted any study to
this branch of archeology. It is this want which Mr. Head has here
made a first attempt to supply. In the choice and classification of
the coins described in the following pages, Mr. Head has throughout
endeavored to keep simultaneously in view the historic, artistic,
and strictly numismatic interest of the coins selected. Thus he
found it possible to present the spectator a tolerably complete
representative series of the gold and silver money current
throughout the ancient world in approximate chronological order.
