For those people interested in Greek and Roman coins – Get this book. Explains the several different types of coinage and the leaders at the time of their minting.
Rating: 4 / 5
I read only the part of this book dedicated to Greek coins (my area of interest) and learned much. There are many (black & white) pictures of coins as well as text dedicated to the inscriptions and people/gods found on the coins. However, the amount of information contained barely scratches the surface of the subject matter. I would buy the book again, but will continue to look for another title with more in-depth information.

Book has some nice pictures and descriptions. Novice collectors will enjoy it.

This was the first book I purchased on the topic of ancient coins, and it provides a first-rate introduction to the hobby. It’s a good general overview of what is available, and is written in a style that is welcoming to the greenest of beginners.
This book would be a very good “first book” on the subject, and it would also make a great gift for someone who is just getting started on an ancient coin collection, especially for the price!

If you are thinking to collect classic Greek and Roman coins and you have no idea of how to start, this is a good book to introduce in a cheaper way.
There is a interesting introducing chapter and after the boor is organized in two main chapter, the old greek coins ant the imperial roman coins.
There are many illustrations exemplifying coins kinds and a little bit explanation in each one.
I can only put it an inconvenience, forgets the Republican and the Provincial periods of Rome coinage, but you can understand because the book would should at least 100 pages more.
