This is the first volume (of three) of David Sear’s brand new
introductory guide to ancient coins, covering Greek civic coins and
tribal issues, and the very first release in Spink’s new Living
History series. Ancient coins have long fascinated generations of
collectors by virtue of their beauty, the stories they tell, and
for the unique insight they give into the history of the time in
which they were made. They can be held, felt and examined without
the need for visiting a museum – they are, quite literally,
living history. David Sear’s three volume guide is intended to
give a general background to the fascinating world of ancient
coins, looking back more than 26 centuries to the lands of the
eastern Mediterranean, at how coins were designed and produced, and
at how they can reveal so much to us today of the time in which
they were produced. David Sear is among the most notable numismatic
authors writing today; his seminal texts have become the standard
handbooks for collectors of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine
coinage. His Introductory Guide is intended as an approachable and
informative introduction to the hobby, and is a must for anyone
interested in the history of the ancient Greek and Roman world.
