The iconography present in these modest remnants of a distant past provides a fascinating insight into the realities, hopes and desires not only of the common people, but also of those who ruled over them.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\nIt is possible to identify with a remarkable degree of precision where, when and by whom coins of this period were struck. Traditional numismatic works rely heavily on a textual description and assume that one has a perfectly preserved specimen. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given their age, the majority of coins encountered are worn or incomplete, making identification difficult. However, as demonstrated by this work, a closer study of their composition and iconography yields more than enough information to identify all but the most poorly preserved specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslation of Die spŠtršmische KupferprŠgung - Ein Bestimmungsbuch fŸr schlecht erhaltene MŸnzen (1961).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598030565537,"sku":"9781326055363","price":66.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1dmw8qv9-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1725406932","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/late-roman-bronze-coinage-an-attribution-guide-for-poorly-prese","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
