Publisher's Synopsis
The Value Of Numismatics In The Study Of Ancient History (1865) is a book written by Charles Septimus Medd that explores the importance of numismatics in understanding ancient history. Numismatics refers to the study of coins and currency, and this book argues that these artifacts can reveal important insights into the political, economic, and cultural history of ancient societies. Medd examines various examples of ancient coins, including those from Greece, Rome, and Byzantium, and discusses how they can be used to shed light on topics such as trade, warfare, and social hierarchies. He also discusses the methods and techniques used in numismatics, including how to identify and classify coins, and the challenges and limitations of using coins as historical evidence. Overall, The Value Of Numismatics In The Study Of Ancient History provides a comprehensive overview of the role of coins in understanding ancient societies, and is a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
