S. | | Abstract: | | Over 75,000 coins have been found during excavations at the Agora, many minted in the city but others brought from Athens’s far-flung commercial contacts. In addition to the mostly bronze and copper coins themselves, a building that may have served as the Athenian mint is described in this booklet. After describing the physical techniques of production, the author takes a chronological approach and includes numerous black and white photographs, making this concise guide a useful aid to the identification of lower-value Greek and Roman coinage. | | Series Title: | | Excavations of the Athenian Agora: Picture Book | | Publication Place: | | Princeton | | Publisher: | | The American School of Classical Studies at Athens | | Volume: | | 15 | | Edition: | | 1 | | Date: | | 1975 | | ISBN: | | 0876616155 | | Google: | | http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0876616155 | | Oxbow URL: | | http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/27202 | | PDF: | | AgoraPicBk-15.pdf | | References: | | Coins (169)
