Second Edition,
Price 25s., large square octavo, illustrated by numerous examples of the most exquisite Greek and Roman Coins, executed in facsimile of the Originals in actual relief and in their respective metals.
An Historical Account of the origin of Coined Money, the development of the Art of Coining in Greece and her Colonies, its progress during the extension of the Roman Empire, and its decline as an art with the decay of that power. By Henry Noel Humphreys, Author of “The Coins of England.”
“It is a condensation of all that is known respecting the coins of ancient nations and a lucid and well-arranged narrative of monetary history. A novel and excellent mode of illustration has been adopted, representing the coins in exact facsimile in gold, silver, and copper, produced by casts from the originals, many of which would be quite unattainable, and all costly.”—Art Journal.
“It is needless to remark how desirable an addition such a work as this must be to the library of the historian, the classical scholar, and the clergyman, no less than to the artist. Its peculiar adaptedness as a prize for classical schools is also sufficiently obvious.”—Daily News.
