3000 BCE, east Mediterranean. A slave digs a silver nugget out of
the ground at an Anatolian mine, launching it on a journey through
the ages to the present day. Crisscrossing the globe, travelling
into space and plunging to the seabed, it features in a series of
world-changing historical events. Over fifteen chapters it falls
into the hands of Alexander the Great, Judas Iscariot, Attila the
Hun, William the Conqueror, Ferdinand Magellan, Marie Antoinette,
Adolf Hitler and many more. As such, it witnesses human endeavour
in all its moods, from exploration to invention, from creation to
devastation, from triumph to despair. Argentum is a light-hearted
canter through the last 5,000 years, combining the adventures of
the silver piece with some of the key characters and moments in
world history, and revealing along the way the extraordinary
adaptability of element 47. So where is it now?
