The coins of ancient and medieval Europe provide unique insights
into the economic and political history of their period. In a time
when few members of the population could read or write, the symbols
depicted on coins offered a medium for communication, propaganda,
and historical archiving. This work hypothesizes that astronomical
symbols on ancient and medieval coins were often used as a way to
record actual celestial events. The author provides more than 550
figures and line drawings of coins, maps, and astronomical events
to illustrate this hypothesis. In addition, several appendices
evaluate the historical accuracy of ancient and medieval coinage
and offer additional examples not included in the main volume.
