Interpretation of coin finds is not quite an easy thing. How to
distinguish, e. g., material of 'hoards' from that of 'votive
deposits'? Where are the 'border lines' dividing numismatic find
categories from each other? Questions like these deserve a closer
scrutiny. This book tries to face the problems by: proposing clear
definitions for categories and sub-categories of coin finds; by
collecting and interpreting written testimonies (from ancient
literature, epigraphy and papyrology) casting light on reasons and
circumstances of coin deposition and coin loss in antiquity; by
describing differences of composition between the categories; by
discussing difficulties of 'differential diagnosis'; and the role
of secondary finds. For each problem and for each find category a
large number of examples is offered.
